| Aaron Roche (USA) | European Tour Announcement Brooklyn-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Roche offers us contrasting narratives: a singer-songwriter with an ear for the avant-garde; a contemporary composer who sings American folk music; an instrumentalist who works as a recording engineer. Aaron will be touring in March and April and will cross Germany, UK, France, Italy, CZ, Austria, Benelux, Portugal and Spain. Aaron Roche released his latest album HaHa HuHu in september 2017 via figureight Records (label founded by Shahzad Ismaily, has recorded or performed with Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Jolie Holland, Laura Veirs, Bonnie Prince Billy, Faun Fables, Secret Chiefs 3, John Zorn, Elysian Fields and many more), in a beautiful all white LP design. The album reveals a songwriter both mature and confident, drawn to lo-fi and droning textures, to nonstandard song-crafting, to acutely personal observation. Aaron's musical CV offers some insight into his craft. He performs (guitar) in the touring bands of musicians as diverse as R. Stevie Moore, Lower Dens, Sufjan Stevens and Anohni, he has composed music for the American Ballet Theatre, he has played trumpet with his father's brass ensemble. Though filtered through his strange and singular lens, all these elements of sound help illuminate the musician and his vision. "Music to me has turned out to be the way I understand the human condition, " Aaron writes. To hear his music offers an insight into a uniquely creative talent.
