Electro-pop hybrid, Village Thrift offers experimentation with forms of electronica and worship. Relevant Magazine reviewed Village Thrift: Circa'05 and gave it a perfect score!
This latest series of EWC recordings is a hybrid built from the foundation of the original EWC series of worship recordings based on the Psalms. This series has opened new avenues for experimentation in worship. With collaborative songwriting and acoustic instrumentation interchanged with discovered (thrift) sounds manipulated electronically, Enter the Worship Circle has purposefully used hip-hop and electronica techniques to create a unique sound comparable to David Crowder Band, Telefon Tel Aviv, Beck, Art of Noise, and Portishead. Finish it all off with EWC pioneers Ben and Robin Pasley and newcomers Todd Berger and Ryan Lott and you are starting to feel the vibe of Village Thrift.
As for lyric content, Circa'05 is a wide-eyed journey that explores themes of doubt in our failure-prone humanity, and our absolute dependence on God's sufficiency in times when we find our faith to be thin. In the book of Psalms, King David has left a trail for us of abolute honesty and vulnerability in approaching the Holy One-- evidence of God's ability to receive all who will come as they are.
Performers on this album include: Todd Berger , Ryan Lott , Ben Pasley, Robin Pasley, Doc Harrill
