Video of the Day and Review: Rogue Wave, “Good Morning (The Future)”

A couple enjoys love among the ruins in this first video from “Permalight.” The video looks like it was shot at the Salton Sea in California — if you ever need a location for your speculative fiction apocalypse movie, go there.

Rogue Wave, “Permalight” (Brushfire)
Rating: 74

Rogue Wave’s “Permalight” corrects the course Zack Rogue set with the band’s third album, 2007′s “Asleep at Heaven’s Gate,” a collection of self-serious stadium rock that threatened to consign this promising band to the crowded ranks of Coldplay-mates. Rogue chose to fight a series of setbacks with beautifully bright melodies and arrangements that add an electro sheen to the modern campfire mood that Rogue Wave established with “Out of the Shadow” in 2004.
