Circus of Love [edit]
by Benjamin Dunn | Genre: Praise & Worship | Release Date: December 14, 2010
 

The sound of Benjamin Dunn And Friends is both synthy and organic, and offers a massively unique and fresh sound in the worship genre. Using the instrumental quirkiness of banjos, accordions and glockenspiels, the album Circus of Love takes on a playful aura. From there add some vintage synthesizers and pop melodies belted out by a gang of vocalists and what you experience can only be described as Benjamin Dunn and Friends.

Love's A Day At The Circus | Posted November 14, 2011
Circus of Love is Benjamin Dunn’s latest musical project. Though Dunn wears many hats besides musician, this musical endeavor shows no deficiency in the creativity department. He and his collaborators have created a welcome and refreshing entry in the modern praise & worship “marketplace.”
 
Musically, the songs of Circus of Love spring from a blend of mid 80’s informed synth-pop/rock, layered with acoustic (and very unique choices of) instrumentation, creating a well-balanced, techno-organic sound. Dunn & Co. keep the lyrics of Circus of Love masterfully simple yet amazingly fresh. Making great use of tempo transitions and switching up time signatures, they also allow each song to breathe with a genuine ebb and flow of emotion.
 
Circus of Love is a joyfully upbeat and stirring mold-breaker in the sometimes vanilla-flavored modern praise & worship genre. If your taste runs toward the more distinct sound of artists like David Crowder BandFuture of Forestry, Jason Gray, Waterdeep, Telecast and Gungor, you might want to give Mr. Dunn & Friends a listen.
