Brian Carpenter's 9 piece ensemble inc. Alec K. Redfearn, Briggan Krauss, &c. delivering gothic stories of children, dreams, fatherhood, revenge, redemption, and murder.
 

Beat Circus
Dreamland



Label: Cuneiform
Country: USA

"Beat Circus was formed in 2002 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian Carpenter. Beat Circus delivers Weird American Gothic stories of children, dreams, fatherhood, revenge, redemption, and murder. Dreamland is their second album and is a uniquely fierce record of dark narrative songs and instrumental works, which is loosely based on historical events associated with turn-of-the-century New York and Coney Island. Brian leads a nine piece ensemble with a unique and exciting instrumentation. You can hear echoes of Tom Waits, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Kurt Weill, Carla Bley, Hans Eisler, Bernard Herrman and much much more here, but what it all combines into could only come from Beat Circus! Included is a really nice 12 page, full c

"Brian Carpenter's narrative songs evoke cabaret, Wild West saloons, circus sideshows, and Old World gypsies...but the prodigious musicianship and stylistic miscegenation is all modern; the results, refreshingly entertaining."-All About Jazz NY

olor booklet with lots of historical (and creepy) imagery!"-Cuneiform
