Rogue Wave’s 2003 debut, Out of the Shadow, and 2005 sophomore album, Descended Like Vultures, are now back in print on colored vinyl. Both exemplify the best of early 2000s indie-rock: thoughtful, artful, catchy, and drawing on influences from Fleetwood Mac to Neil Young to My Bloody Valentine. 
Out of the Shadow was originally released in a limited quantity on the band’s own Responsive Recordings label in early 2003. It is a gentle, undeniable charmer full of the timeless sophistication and fierce, penetrating hooks that define a classic album. Band leader Zach Rogue speaks to the almost accidental creation of the band and album: 
There’s an innocence and openness to Out of the Shadow, probably because I had literally no idea what I was doing. I made sketches of the songs on 4-track and by and large, the structure of the songs didn’t change too much in the studio. While it felt like the most exciting thing that ever happened to me, I didn’t think it would be heard by anyone except maybe my friends and family. When it was done, I used it as a way to recruit a band on Craigslist. I wish I could remember what I wrote in that posting
Despite the record’s humble origins, it charmed the world on release. All Music gave it 4/5 and declared: “Not a weak link or bit of filler to be found anywhere… an indie dream come true.” Alternative Press rated it 5/5 and said: “Think Doug Martsch fronting the Shins and playing the sweetest Carl Newman jams ever.”
The follow-up, Descended Like Vultures, was the first time Zach Rogue made a record with a whole group in the studio. Ten days with Bill Racine (who produced Out Of The Shadow with Rogue) at Supernatural Sound in Oregon City, OR spawned 11 tracks that journey through a dreamy landscape inspired by several decades of classic rock and pop. Rogue calls it “the sound of a road weary but energized band… we were obsessed with the Flaming Lips and hoped we could, through osmosis, absorb some of that Dave Fridmann magic. All we wanted to do was experiment in the studio.”
Entertainment Weekly gave Descended… an A-, saying “Rogue's high, gentle vocals and halcyon harmonies mask lyrics that are occasionally dark and cynical - but never mushy.” And Under the Radar rated it 8/10, calling it “a perfect mix of tender melodies and rock and roll.”

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
