Rogue Wave
Descended Like Vultures
Sub Pop

This is good pop/singer-songwriter stuff, solidly played and recorded and sung with feeling, while not overly formulaic in composition. On first listen, though, Zach Rogue's songs seem like a closed universe - not a real problem since the same can be said for many of my favorite artists - I just have to decide whether it's worth the time and effort to find my way in. As of now, the jury's still out.
