What's Been said of their Albums:
(CoverArt linked to MassMirror)
"Think Doug Martsch fronting the Shins and playing the sweetest Carl Newman jams ever."Delusions of Adequacy
"Some of his melodies are so easily memorable they make The Thrills sound like Rammstein."Dusted Magazine
"Out of the Shadow's blissful indie-pop tunes are as affecting as they are catchy."ShakingThrough.net
"There's definite promise here, if not the stunning masterpiece of popcraft that a sudden deluge of impressive notices might indicate."Stylus Magazine
"On many of the songs here, the accompaniment sounds like an afterthought, adding to the bedroom-recording atmosphere."Trouser Press
"This is not perfect music: the observations seem too easily gained; the faster songs mere replicas of previous monuments; and no matter how graceful the notes' elisions, an unskillful denouement on many of the songs' endings."
"Rogue's high, gentle vocals and halcyon harmonies mask lyrics that are occasionally dark and cynical--but never mushy."Drowned In Sound
"It's full of the minute anxieties of life that keep you awake in the early hours, but set to some of the most life-affirming sounds you'll have heard for a long time."Junkmedia
"Unlike Rogue Wave's timid debut, Vultures blazes forward with the kind of assured bravado not usually seen this side of U2."Alternative Press [Dec 2005, p.204]
"Rogue Wave now resemble a more earnest Flaming Lips."Splendid
"While the Big Chorus and post-hardcore theatricality are hardly disparate stylistic traits, it's odd that Rogue Wave would embrace them after establishing themselves as a nuanced pop outfit."Stylus Magazine
"Descended Like Vultures snuggles down between Wolf Parade's Apologies To The Queen Mary and Modest Mouse's 2004 release, Good News For People Who Like Bad News as a competent, half-slapped together, half-methodic slice of evolved indie-rock."
"The Oakland quartet, now on Jack Johnson's Brushfire imprint, has a greater sense of urgency, sharper edges, and a more mature sound overall."Billboard
"Its third and most ambitious release. 'Asleep' is notable for its beefed-up instrumentation and an overall darker tone than its predecessors."Spin [Oct 2007, p.110]
"This Oakland quartet teams with Yo Ma Tengo producer Roger Moutenot to create a make-or-break manifesto that often trumps indie rock's big-leaguers."No Ripcord
"Asleep at Heaven's Gate is strangely flawed because the warmth of the first two albums has been exchanged for grandeur and detached shellac. By no means is this a fall from grace for Rogue Wave, but it is the band's first significant stumble."All Music Guide
"Asleep at Heaven's Gate isn't a bad record, it's an unnecessary one and there's really no excuse for that."Prefix Magazine
"Most of Asleep at Heaven's Gate is forgettable, uninspired, middle-of-the-road indie pop."
