Kid Carpet is the Bristol-based solo project of Ed Patrick. He makes music as a one-man band using Casio keyboards, Fisher Price guitars and the internal parts of toys as instruments. He also uses a Furby for backing vocals on the track “Your Love”, although it is stolen at a gig.

His debut album, Ideas and Oh Dears, is released in two versions on the independent label Tired & Lonesome in 2005. One edition, sold through independent record shops, includes an extra mix CD with Carpet remixes and interludes.
