Asleep at Heaven's Gate, the third album from Oakland's Rogue Wave, came out on Brushfire Records on September 18, 2007, with Roger Moutenot producing. It's still very much Zach Rogue's band, the songwriter who started the whole thing after the dot-com bust cost him his job, and here he stretches his sunny, melancholy indie pop into something roomier and more patient, guitars chiming and swelling around his soft, earnest voice.
"Lake Michigan" was the calling card, a bright, rolling lead single that turned up in a TV ad for Microsoft's second-generation Zune and on the soundtrack of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, while "Chicago x 12" found its way into an episode of Scrubs. Reviews were middling at the time, but those songs kept finding new ears.
