Rogue Wave’s 2005 sophomore album, Descended Like Vultures, is now back in print on colored vinyl. It exemplifies the best of early 2000s indie-rock: thoughtful, artful, catchy, and drawing on influences from Fleetwood Mac to Neil Young to My Bloody Valentine.

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.”
