Love & Dancing by Marius Circus
"Love & Dancing" is my sophomore studio album, and also my second album of 2020. I set out this year with the fairly ambitious goal of releasing three full albums. "Love & Dancing" is the second one in the trilogy. The final installment will be released before Christmas.
While "The Computer Controlled Gardener" (Album I) was an album very much in the scandolearic / space disco / whatever-you-wanna-call-this-genre tradition, it's fair to say that "Love & Happiness" is a lot moodier, for lack of a better word. I went into the recording of this after a period of listening pretty extensively to both Martin Jenkins' absolutely brilliant Pye Corner Audio project and also Andreas Tilliander's two TM404 albums. It wasn't really a conscious thing, but it struck me as I put the finishing touches to this album that this probably affected the sound of these tunes quite a bit. I'll leave it to you as the listener to judge whether these inspirations actually shine through for you as well, as I realize it might just be in my head. ;-)
Thanks again to Matt and his mixing skills for making my productions shine in a way I'd never be able to myself and to Pete for the lovely artwork.
