Roche Limit: Sometimes We Must Change Shape

BY Caitlin Baird – Delta Secondary School, Delta BC Jun 1, 2009

3 stars

Eclectic one-man band defies convention.

A “roche limit” is the smallest distance at which a natural satellite can orbit a celestial body without being torn apart by the gravitational force. Vancouver based one-man-band Roche Limit’s new album pays homage to this idea, blending folk, pop, electronic and industrial in a carefully balanced defiance of convention. Self-described as sounding like “Beck, if Beck still sounded like Beck,” Roche Limit further fights tradition by never performing live, so in order to enjoy his unique, eerie, infectious creations, one will have to purchase them.
