Descended Like Vultures (20th Anniversary Director’s Cut)

Description

The album has been expanded to include rare and unreleased bonus material from the albums era.

Released in 2005, Descended Like Vultures is Rogue Waves second album for Sub Pop. It would be the first time the bands leader made a record with a whole group Rogue, Spurgeon, Le Bron, and new bass player Evan Farrell in the studio. They spent 10 days with Bill Racine (who also produced Out Of The Shadow with Rogue) at Supernatural Sound in Oregon City, OR, resulting in the creation of 11 tracks that journey through a dreamy landscape inspired by several decades of classic rock and pop (from Fleetwood Mac to Neil Young to My Bloody Valentine.)

For the first time as an entire unit, Rogue Wave went out of its way to create a free-flowing album that includes equal amounts of tension, release and resolution. In the process, they made a brilliantly layered, expertly crafted album that changes shape with repeated spins.
