Rogue Wave- Descended Like Vultures



Zach Rogue first venture was essentially a solo album, but this time around he went into the studio with a band and a bigger production budget,  and the out come is some savory indie music. Zach mixes his high vocals with understatedly darker lyrics, while the band plays what one reviewer called "Delirious, dizzy alt- pop. The album is decidedly different than Out of the Shadow, gone is the nervous DIY effort of a talent musician, and in it's place the work of a proper band. If you enjoy bands like Death Cab For Cutie and Elliot Smith then Rogue Wave should be right up your alley.

Songs to Listen for:

Bird on a Wire- The first song on the album is by far my favorite.
Publish my love- multi-layered guitar track with polished production
California- a stripped down acoustic song
