Master guitarist's soundtrack without a film
“I want the listener to be traveling through their imagination, I hope they will feel moved by the melodies and the textures, and would get to the end of the album and feel a bit nostalgic that it’s the end, like a really good movie.” French-born/Arizona-based musician Gabriel Naïm Amor is back with Stories, his twelfth LP since the mid 2000’s, an alternative pop/rock soundtrack without a film. The six instrumentals and three vocal songs make two things clear: we are dealing with a master guitarist here, and everything is in service of creating a certain mood that evokes cinematic images and feelings. It takes a few listens, but then you would almost start a crowdfunding campaign to have your thoughts made into footage to go with the music.
Stories, recorded in one marathon session by Jim Waters, is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Fort Lowell Records. Featuring Naïm Amor (guitar, violin, vocals), Ben Nisbet (guitar, violin), Thøger Lund (bass) and Casey Hadland (drums).
