Carpet Burn are your new favourite band. Rigid yet lucid in groove, the Alphington based four-piece released their debut EP I Can’t Believe It’s Not Carpet Burn in June via Spoilsport Records. In
just four songs, a jangly watercolour world unveils itself with effortless charm.
We caught up with co-writer and keys player Kayley Langdon to find out about some records that have accompanied her throughout her life.

Pedestrian Life. But maybe it’s Eddy Current - Rush To Relax. Maybe maybe maybe...

Seizure when our band Carpet Burn first started playing.
