The fourth album from Idaho based songwriter, Jesse Blake Rundle.
“This record started as a quiet, personal process,” says Rundle. “But as I worked, a larger story started to emerge—one about power, the roles we take on, and what happens when those identities start to crack.”
It’s a chamber folk collection that bridge intimacy and grandeur, for fans of Grizzly Bear, Adrianne Lenker, and the quieter corners of indie rock. The songs orbits longing and change, shaped by leaving religion, embracing his sexuality, and finding joy in sobriety.
The album has been getting some praise:
“If 'Wait, Sky' were a film, it’d be the kind where nothing explodes, yet you leave the theatre shaken.”
— Mystic Sons
“a rare album: demanding yet accessible, cerebral yet visceral. He reminds us that music, when not just consumed but inhabited, can become a refuge for those seeking understanding—others, the world, themselves.”
— Extra VA French

“Original, moving, and innovative”
“Cinematic and immersive…with each listen, tiny revelations seem to rise to the surface. Subtle flourishes and hidden layers you’d swear you didn’t hear at first reveal themselves, and the tune almost becomes a living and breathing organism”
“Rundle’s guitar work pulses with the intensity of someone who’s clawed their way through hell and back… a switchblade of hope: jagged, dangerous, and impossibly alive.”
“a rare album: demanding yet accessible, cerebral yet visceral. He reminds us that music, when not just consumed but inhabited, can become a refuge for those seeking understanding—others, the world, themselves.”
