Rogue Wave returns with new album, summer tour

Rogue Wave will head out on the road for a string US shows this summer following the release of their fifth studio album Nightingale Floors (Vagrant Records) out June 4.

Led by core band members Zach Rogue and Pat Spurgeon, these shows will be the first for the band in three years. Complete list of tour dates below. 

The first track from the upcoming album, "College," was recently released.

Rogue Wave tapped John Congleton (David Byrne & St. Vincent, Explosions In The Sky) to produce the record. With the assistance of touring bassist Masanori Mark Christianson, Peter Wolf Crier's Peter Pisano (guitar), Sea Of Bees' Jules Baenziger (vocals), and Mwahaha's Ross Peacock (synth manipulation) Rogue, Spurgeon, and Christianson channeled their energies into 10 songs that include "No Magnatone," "College," "The Closer I Get" and "Everyone Wants To Be You." 

"The thing I like about the new album is I can envision playing all of the songs live," says Rogue. "For Permalight, it was like, 'How will we do this?' That's not a good sign. For this, it's like, 'How are we going to play all of them?' And that's exciting."
