19. Rogue Wave Asleep At Heaven's Gate
The missus and I saw Rogue Wave open for Feist last October and were immediately smitten. It was one of those heard-of-'em-but-never-heard-'em scenarios, and show led to album purchase led to "ooooooh this is good" led to this here post. Swimming in wide-open melody, chiming guitars and inventive arrangements, Gate was one of the year's easiest listens, front-loaded with gems like "Chicago x 12" and the hand-clappinest indie-rock song of the year, "Lake Michigan."
