WAIT, SKY
album release party
Saturday Aug 30, 8pm @ Visual Arts Collective
“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.”
WAIT, SKY
The new album - out on Doe Records on July 29.
Alone in a studio in the Washington rainforest, Jesse Blake Rundle found himself sketching out strange scenes: falling crowns, failed connections, 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 inner conflict.
“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.”
Drawing influence from artists like Grizzly Bear, Big Thief, and Radiohead, Rundle’s latest project continues his evolution as a songwriter unafraid to push into difficult themes.
“Alt-rock with a poet’s pulse… Rundle doesn’t just sing—he surrenders.” — Hella Fuzz
“Original, moving, and innovative” — Rolling Stone Español
“spacious folky/proggy indie rock with forest-like, weaving guitars and a nimble rhythmic enthusiasm” — Grotesqualizer
“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”
