California’s Rogue Wave always manages to put out solid music, but I was kind of thrown off a little when taking in the new single “Good Morning” off the upcoming Permalight LP (out March 2nd). They’ve dabbled in electronics before but the intensity was never this strong (nor this dance floor oriented) and at first I was put off…then I listened to it a few more times and really started to enjoy the track a great deal. The rough synth worked well with RW’s songwriting style for sure. Check it:
