"Ken Carter" is the second single released by Australian alternative rock band, Ammonia, from their debut album Mint 400.
The single was released by Sony Music Australia's imprint label, Murmur in late February 1996.
The song was named after Ken Carter, a Canadian stuntman who attempted to jump over the Saint Lawrence River in the late 1970s.
[3]It's a passionate song, really, definitely darker and a bit more intelligent than "Drugs".According to Allmusic's reviewer, Nitsuh Abebe, '"Ken Carter" sounds like a more rocked-out version of the Posies.
'[4] The South Florida Sun-Sentinel describes the beginning of "Ken Carter" as being nothing but annoying whining, although the addition of a great riff in the chorus gives it the high intensity that it needs.
