Following the growing momentum of Listening—which has landed on notable indie folk playlists and been highlighted by outlets like Purple Melon and Indie Folk Central—Dellwood returns with We Could Awake, a cinematic indie folk track layered with ghostly vocoder harmonies and raw introspection.

Blurring the lines between organic warmth and ethereal textures, We Could Awake explores the tension between staying in the comfort of the past and stepping into something unknown. The refrain—"Like digging for gold, am I made to break, or face it?"—poses the central question: Do we fold under the weight of fear, or do we find the courage to awaken? The song captures the quiet wrestling between doubt and purpose, between clinging to familiarity and embracing the risks of growth.

Set against flickering fireplace embers and fleeting memories of Minneapolis flights, the lyrics paint an intimate portrait of longing, uncertainty, and the hope that waking up—to life, to love, to purpose—is worth the risk. If Listening was a quiet confessional, We Could Awake is the moment of reckoning.

418. Sleepy Sunday Podcast (Elm Records)

'Petrichor' is the third studio album from long-time collaborators James Osland and Andrew Heath, and serves as a natural continuation of their creative partnership following the release of Elysian Fields (2024), also on the esteemed Fluid Audio label.

The two artists were initially brought together by a shared admiration for each other’s work within the ambient music community. Andrew Heath is an established figure in the genre, with numerous albums and EPs released on respected imprints such as Disco Gecko, Whitelabrecs, Rusted Tone Recordings, Elm Records, and White Paddy Mountain. James Osland, meanwhile, is both an accomplished artist and the founder of Elm Records, a boutique label known for its thoughtful curation. His personal discography includes releases on Unknown Tone Records, Whitelabrecs, Flaming Pines, and Dewtone Recordings, among others. Osland’s practice explores the intersection of sound, memory, and place, working across both sonic and visual mediums.

Petrichor began to take shape during an exchange of ideas between the two artists in the late winter and early spring of 2024. As Andrew shared loops and sonic sketches, James found himself listening from his studio, watching the unrelenting English rain from the window. These moments of stillness-quiet reflections on the shifting of seasons-informed the mood and direction of the album.

What emerged is a collection of slowly evolving compositions, revealing gentle melodies, nuanced textures, and soft drones-much like the tender unfolding of early spring leaves. The album carefully weaves together field recordings, organic textures, and synthesis to create immersive soundscapes that capture the subtle beauty and contemplative atmosphere of seasonal change.

Truth be told, I’ve been holding on to more than just moments - 
A new Mint Julep album has been quietly waiting in the wings.
Hoping to share it with you in the next few months! :)

I’ve been holding on to moments
That I always thought would never leave
Every step, a soft reminder
Of all the places we can’t reach

Just your hands, like water
Pouring slow into my soul
So come to me unspoken
Like a dream you can’t explain

Wrote our names in summer rain
Now I trace those same old patterns again
Calling out, you say my name
As if you never went away

Just your hands, like water
Pouring slow into my soul
So come to me unspoken
Like a dream you can’t explain

Holding On
