WAIT, SKY
The new album - out on Doe Records on July 29.
It started with a crown. Alone in a forest studio, Jesse Blake Rundle found himself sketching out strange scenes: fading thrones, dissolving roles, and a man split from himself. Those images became Wait, Sky, a 12-track album that drifts between lo-fi intimacy and rhythmic alt rock, haunted by questions of power, identity, and self-erasure.
“These songs started as quiet thoughts I didn’t expect to share,” Rundle says. “But in the solitude, they gathered their own mythology. I kept seeing images of crowns, the absurdity of power, and how people vanish into roles they create for themselves. I wasn’t chasing a concept, but one formed anyway.”
“a thrilling and provoking listen” - MP3Hugger
“spacious folky/proggy indie rock with forest-like, weaving guitars and a nimble rhythm enthusiasm” - Grotesqualizer
I live in Boise, Idaho, where I write songs, run a recording studio, and compose for film. I’ve released several albums, including Next Town’s Trees and the follow up EP Artifacts of Water.
