Rogue Wave Artist Snapshot:

Like the Shins, California's Rogue Wave represent the more cerebral end of the indie-pop spectrum, with textured, finely-honed tunes, intelligent lyrics, and a publicity-shyness that emphasizes their music over their image. Despite this, the band has had a number of well-placed songs on soundtracks, TV shows, compilations, and even video games, and has enjoyed a steadily growing popularity since releasing their debut album on Sub Pop in 2004. They went on to sign with Jack Johnson's Brushfire label later in the decade.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (No. 847, p.87) - "...Rogue Wave update '60s British pop for blog-era tastes...." - Grade: A-
Mojo (Publisher) (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 - "When it works, the dreampop candyfloss strengthens the melodies and deepens the pathos of their singer's worldly-wise songwriting....It's sweet and vivid..."

Title Note

On its second Sub Pop album, DESCENDED LIKE VULTURES, the San Francisco quartet Rogue Wave makes a notable departure from its debut, OUT OF THE SHADOW. While the earlier disc has an airy, lo-fi sound that's enhanced by subtle electronics, much of VULTURES is amped-up indie-rock bolstered by dense arrangements. "Publish My Love" features alternately chiming and driving surges of guitars, while "10:1" careens along on layered keyboard lines and a propulsive beat. Frontman Zach Rogue often sounds like a less troubled younger brother of Elliott Smith, particularly on the record's mellower moments, including the folk-tinged "California" and the dreamy "You." Although Rogue Wave fans may initially be perplexed by VULTURES, the album reveals a more ambitious aspect of the band, and repeated listens reveal its many charms.
