Last week, Indie band Rogue Wave came to New York City. I had the pleasure of meeting them before their headlining show at The Bowery Ballroom. For a band that's playing to sold-out crowds across the country, they couldn't have been a nicer group of guys.
Their new album Asleep at Heaven's Gate is getting tons of press. With an underlying touch of melancholy, their tunes are slick and tight, incorporating edgy sounds that set them apart from a number of bands that are out now.
Haunting yet uptempo songs like "Harmonium", "Like I Needed", "Fantasies" and "Ghost" are balanced out with more etherial tracks like "Missed". Two cuts in particular, "Chicagox12" and "Own Your Own Home" are driven by interesting rhythms.
If you're looking to find some cool new music, I definitely reccomend checking out ringtones from Rogue Wave.Labels: indie
