O'Farrill's music is both abstract and personal, writing compositions that reflect subjects such as being mixed race, growing up in New York, family history, and spirituality. His primary band as a leader in the quartet, Stranger Days, featuring Xavier Del Castillo, Walter Stinson, and Zack O'Farrill. Their most recent album, Visions of Your Other, was released on Biophilia Records in November 2021, and was called โOโFarrillโs most melodically engaging effort yetโ, by The New York Times. The album primarily features Adamโs original compositions, as well as an arrangement of a piece by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and a piece by Stinson. One of the albumโs pieces, โBlackening Skiesโ, was set to animation by Elenor Kopka (Adult Swim, MTV). In 2018, Adam released El Maquech (Biophilia Records), comprised modern arrangements of Mexican folkloric music, as well as interpretations of Irving Berlin, Thelonious Monk, and Gabriel Garzon Montano. It received critical acclaim, including from the Wall Street Journal, who wrote that โthe band presents rambunctious music that is equally rustic and modern,โ as well as receiving Best of the Year mentions from The Boston Globe and the NPR Jazz Critics Poll.
