“Each member of Circus no. 9 plays extremely well - and when they come together it’s clear that their collective skills serve the music first and foremost. There’s nothing extra here - just well-crafted melodies and tasteful arrangements that blend old and new, acoustic and electronic. It’s music that bears repeated listening, for the nuances, as well as for the good feelings it engenders!”
