Love's A Day At The Circus
Posted November 14, 2011
By IronJedi,
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 Band, Future of Forestry, Jason Gray, Waterdeep, Telecast and Gungor, you might want to give Mr. Dunn & Friends a listen.
