Rich Clark’s Wayward Sparrow: A Folk Debut from Detroit with soulful guitar.

Rich Clark has said that he creates music primarily for himself, but hopes that listeners connect with it in a way that keeps them coming back. That intention feels honest here. “Wayward Sparrow” isn’t chasing trends or trying to be everything at once. It’s comfortable in its own space, trusting that the right listeners will meet it there.

“I used to rent a tiny 5×5 room in Brooklyn for $200 a month,” recounts lead singer, Jacob Wunderlich. “It was basically a closet, but it became my creative refuge. I wrote a ton of songs there. That little room was my ‘place I go.’ I hope everyone has somewhere like that, a space where they can find peace.”

“Tiber Creek”, the debut single from Chicago singer-songwriter Lillian King, is out now via Pronounced Kroog (Spencer Krug’s label – Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown). It’s the first track from her upcoming album In Your Long Shadow, landing October 24. The song blends intimate storytelling with moody indie tones — for fans of Sharon Van Etten, Mazzy Star, Big Thief, and Bill Callahan.

For the Midlands-based singer-songwriter Dom Malin, his latest single ‘Tapping Out’ feels like a full circle moment. This emotionally rich song is a piece of deeply personal reflection, connecting to broader themes in the artist’s personal life of perseverance and the pursuit of meaning, despite whatever struggles may have come his way.
