A World Without Colour is the most recent album by UK-based artist Ben Woods, released in late January. Only thirty minutes long, the album has eight tracks:
A World Without Colour, Upon This Rock, Endless Lines of Infinite Light, Finding Your Last, As Above So Below, Russell Gardens, A Place And Time and One Final Drift Away. A very peaceful and quiet album, with beautiful passages filled with glorious moments of melancholy, A World Without Colour is a very poetic record, that unravels a musician with a very interesting style of his own, absolutely secure of his musical capacities, and where he is at the present moment of his musical career, and where he intends to go. 

With vivid, but at the same time very somber harmonies, that reveals a gloom so strong that seems capable to devour the world, the intensity of his songs are extremely captivating, with melodies that present themselves paradoxically as dark and serene, as well as dense and corrosive. Nonetheless, the tracks are astoundingly beautiful, full of charm, entrained in a very philosophical layer on life, and creatively expansive from the center of its own introspective sensibilities. 
Although the harmonies in general present little variations, and their pace is usually very slow as well, there is so much life flowing from these intrinsic rhythms where the universe revitalizes itself so easily, that you instantly learn how to better understand the truthful aspirations of a very lucid and reenergizing path of sonorous artistry. 

With a creativity that seems to have developed its own sensitive sonorous language, A World Without Colour is a melancholic soundscape of devotional intensity, that summarizes a musical ode to the nothingness that has taken the strains of the human heart. Working in detail the major feelings that beautifully translate themselves to sound, this album slowly deciphers the profound and serious metamorphosis of the human condition, analyzing in the lines of its sonorous perfection the usual failures that inevitably enslaves the human race. 

A formidable album, despite the little rhythmic variations, besides being concise and very objective, is deeply fulfilled by a sensible and human beauty, that evaluates a magnificent musical proficiency, that not only overcomes itself in technical excellence, but reevaluates in the scope of its poetic majesty the overall retribution of an antagonistic but very colorful overview of the world, full of hope, humanity, benevolence and serenity. Undoubtedly, a very beautiful record, that will take your musical perceptions into a whole new level of overwhelming consciousness.
