Rogue Wave descends with new LP

Last year was a bit chaotic for Rogue Wave. The drummer had a kidney transplant, the keyboardist lost his father, the singer had a new bouncing baby girl and the band roped in a new bass player.

But the band kept its marbles intact and recorded its third full-length album, Asleep at Heaven’s Gate, scheduled to swoop in September 18. Produced by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Sleater Kinney, Elvis Costello) with Zach Rogue, the album also features John Vanderslice and Nada Surf’s Matthew Caws.

Rogue Wave formed five years ago when Rogue self-recorded his debut Out of the Shadow, later enlisting a full band and releasing 2005's acclaimed Descended Like Vultures.
