my friend aaron roche just came out with his new album.

plainspeak.

its is really really good.

aaron roche has always been an amazing singer/songwriter

but in this new album he explores some new textures with his music style.

following somewhat in the footsteps of Sufjan Stevens, and playing music very spiritually influenced.. he has now added, with the help of friend, Tim Hinck, experimental and orchestral layering into his melodically sweet tunes.

the sweetness still lingers but in a somewhat dissonant and complex use of a variety of other instruments.

And! this is the first album in which Aaron Roche "rocks out" a little.

some electric guitar can be found interweaved // and his Sufjan-quality whispery falsetto comes to somewhat of a more forceful rockin rasp.!

Lyrically, Aaron, has always been off the nose and alluding, creating deeper ideas within his melodies..

In this album he goes even farther, especially with the song 'Verses for Madonna of Humility with the Temptation of Eve', in word painting and imagery that stirs the mind.

Its the darker side to Aaron's work which usually is oriented with warmth and happy lyrics.. 'mother of the bone, button and the tiny teeth..'

I start seeing dark faces peering through the glass of Tim Hinck's oboe arrangement.

I definitely recommend checking it out

In fact! you can listen to the entire album below..
