If you’re a fan at all of Beck’s ‘Sea Change,’ you’ll no doubt find a familiar place with Aaron Roche’s string arrangements and hypnotic croon. But what you won’t be prepared for is how many instruments and textures Roche brings to the table. Given to elevating pop tricks to a high art sensibility, tracks like ‘Cyclocardorary’ and the haunting murkiness of ‘Death is all Around’ from new record “!BlurMyEyes” place Roche in the company of John Cale and R. Stevie Moore, artists elevating the usual pop canvas to a spiritual dimension.
