Add Date: March 9
Artist: Rogue Wave
Album: Permalight
Label: Brushfire
Genre: Indie rock, pop
Comments: The fourth album from Oakland indie rockers Rogue Wave is fronted by Zach Schwartz, who formed the grooup after losing his job in the dot-com bust. There's always been a little bit of a digital sheen to Rogue Wave's particular brand of sensitive, polite-guy indie rock, which has drawn comparisons to groups like Death Cab for Cutie, Stars, and -- though I wouldn't quite call them "polite" -- Of Montreal.

Rogue Wave is most certainly a soundtrack band, since songs of there's have appeared in tons of movie soundtracks (Love Happens, Rachel Getting Married, Napoleon Dynamite, Just Friends) and TV shows (Heroes, Scrubs, Chuck, The O.C.) if that tells you anything. Not quite up to snuff with their very first record, Permalight is a nice collection of tunes. Start with "Good Morning."
