AmurRayz’s latest album “Zero More +Or- Less” is album full of beautiful songs describing ordinary and extraordinary moments of our life. This album is a compilation of harmonized tunes composed of wind instruments, violin and guitar music the artist defines ‘Windoling music’ music. Made in Albany, Western Australia, the tunes are imaginative as the environment that inspired them, so the listening to the album is a contemplative one.
There are almost all kinds of themes, including love, war, nature, mysticism and even life after death. Every track has a plot of its own owning individual mood and words derived from philosophy, literature and space. Songs such as the “Pantheon Mountain Cross Cave” point the listener toward the cosmos and other music such as “Forever Now” meditates on the sadness of soldiers.
Nevertheless, the work’s gem is a Christmas track “This Time of Year”, as passionate as it is deep in message and sound. It begins with nicely harmonized vocals that give one the first catchy hook followed by some beautiful chords for that fairy tale feeling. The horns bring it more closer to a festive, lively feel adding to the beats most appropriately. The recording is impeccable in terms of mix, and the voice superbly emotional, and the song is a deeply feeling ballad about the holidays.
This song ‘This Time of Year’ is one that tells the story people’s reason to feel certain way during the Christmas. It is very tender and directing to endearing memories of this particular period in our lives; warm while inspiring introspection that can be specific for every individual.
”Zero More +Or- Less” is an incredible disc that is loaded with messages and emotion wrapped within the music.
