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

Out of the Shadow was originally released in a limited quantity on the band’s own Responsive Recordings label in early 2003. It is a gentle, undeniable charmer full of the naturally timeless sophistication and fierce, penetrating hooks that define a classic album. 

Soon after their formation, Rogue Wave found themselves invited to play shows with bands like Spoon, Destroyer, Mates of State, Super Furry Animals, The Clientele and The Shins. “Rogue Wave seems like a classic Bay Area band, in the tradition of Thinking Fellers and Barbara Manning—they’ve just got that vibe,” gushed Carl Newman, The New Pornographers’ vocalist and songwriter. And he’s right—the quartet effused vitality, all the while infusing their damaged melodies with casual charm.
