Jesse Blake Rundle

hometown: Boise, ID

Jesse Blake Rundle writes sad boy songs. But he’s not actually sad, most of the time. The band weaves their arrangements with a clarinet (Mike), a drum kit (Dave), and two guitars (Thomas and Jesse). You’ll notice notes of chamber pop, alfalfa, indie folk, and huckleberry. And possibly a cinematic swell or two. The songs approach longing, change, and the parts that get messy when things change. Having gone through a bunch of big changes recently–religion, sexuality, sobriety, friendships–he’s always got new stories to tell. Jesse has a new album on the way this year, and a couple of film scores coming soon too.
