'Permalight' could represent a great push forward for Rogue Wave. Having toured with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Jack Johnson, Spoon, The Clientele and The Shins, the group already has two indie albums – 2004’s Out of the Shadow and 2005’s Descended Like Vulture on Sub Pop – which earned it prime soundtrack placement for movies and television shows such as “Napoleon Dynamite,” “Heroes,” “Weeds,” and “Nip/Tuck.” Its move to Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records for the release of 2007’s politically charged, multilayered Asleep At Heaven’s Gate brought critical acclaim and the band’s first foray onto the alternative radio chart with “Lake Michigan.” The track has also been licensed for the upcoming film “Up In the Air,” and was used for a popular Microsoft Zune commercial.
Both Rogue and Spurgeon says the group might seem like an odd fit for Brushfire Records, which boasts a roster largely made up of acoustic singer-songwriters, but the label’s willingness to give the band complete artistic freedom is all the encouragement they need. “They trust what we're doing,” Spurgeon says. “We would like to have a long career in music and to do that you do have to step it up sometimes.”
