Release the Sunbird

Add Date: July 26 

Artist: Release the Sunbird 

Album: Come Back to Us 

Label: Brushfire 

Genre: Alternative, indie rock 

Comments: If the sounds coming from the debut album of Release the Sunbird sound familiar, it's because Rogue Wave's Zach Rogue has decided to create a new side/solo project. Come Back to Us keeps to the same signature sound that has made Rogue so popular in the indie world, but that familiar intimacy is also tweaked a bit to allow for some sun-kissed, joyful and simple harmonies that showcase the singer's talent. The record has the production value to make it better than most run-of-the-mill indie rock bands, but it still doesn't fill the spot that "Lake Michigan" left.

The album does provide for a lilting listen, but I'd stick with tracks 2, 6, 8 and 9.
