Elskavon - "Copper Hills"

"Lo-wave" ?

This is my “if lofi and synthwave had a baby” song. I stumbled on this fusion of styles I love accidentally when I pulled up a synth bass patch that had the steady arpeggio - reminding me immediately of the iconic Drive film soundtrack. Bringing the analog, retro flavor alongside the crunchy, rawness of Mum Child lofi beats.

Gleamer Skies is a blend of creative free-for-all and experimenting, blended with the audio/sonic structures and strengths I’ve developed over the years. I wanted that to be conveyed also in the mood of it - a balance of somber/melancholy and summery, laid back joy.

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.

"See Your Face" captures the quiet, introspective moments after a breakup, weaving raw vulnerability with a nostalgic beauty that resonates deeply with listeners. Fusing intricate folk storytelling with cinematic ambient production, the track creates an organic soundscape that is both intimate and expansive—perfect for anyone seeking a reflective journey through sound.

See Your Face

The MySpace Top 8 was never meant to change the music industry. Chillwave was never meant to be a genre—it started as a blogosphere joke. And Bora York was never meant to be a band—it began as a school project. Yet all three took on a life of their own, shaping an era of indie electronic music built on hazy nostalgia, warm synths, and melodic escapism. Now, after six years away, Bora York returns with "Melting on the Moon," a shimmering sonic love letter to the chillwave movement that first inspired them.

"I think I needed to distance myself from it for a while," says songwriter Chris Bartels, who also writes music as Elskavon, Dellwood, and Hi-Fi Cali. "I was trying so hard with this, in my head, being my ‘main’ project, hoping for so much with it. I was putting so much emotional stock into it that it was probably even sucking some of that original creative magic out of it. Bora York was essentially an accident—it started as a school project and turned into something exciting and unique. Then for a while, I tried to keep recreating that. Stepping back for a few years and only writing as I felt led creatively allowed me to let go—to just let it be."

While writing, Chris started curating a playlist he facetiously called "Chillwave Revival," letting himself become fully immersed in and inspired by the sun-faded synths and woozy nostalgia of Toro y Moi, Washed Out, MGMT, and Neon Indian. Before long, that feeling took over. "Melting on the Moon" is the result—a track that embraces the fuzzy textures and dreamlike melodies of early chillwave, yet with an undeniable modern pulse. It’s laced with Chris and Rebekah’s signature vocal chemistry and an irresistible post-chorus synth hook that lingers long after the first listen.

With past syncs in Netflix’s To All the Boys, Mr. Robot, The Middle, Criminal Minds, Target, Honda, and more, Bora York’s music has resonated far and wide. Press accolades from Clash Magazine, Neon Gold, Indie Shuffle, and Earmilk hailed their sound as “sublime,” “summertime radness,” and “impossible not to get swept up in.”

Now, Bora York embraces a new chapter—one that taps into the playfulness, freedom, and MySpace-era nostalgia of their earliest influences while letting the music just be.

Melting on the Moon

When you've been through hell and back... but, you've had your person there with you the whole time. That's what this one's all about.

PRESS RELEASE:
Dellwood returns with his sixth single, Lovelights, a slow-burning summer folk meditation that blends his signature intimate fingerpicking, layered harmonies, and spacious vocals. 
The song lives in that tender space between bittersweet reflection and quiet hope — a "peaceful wrestling" with the emotions of life. Set against the backdrop of a warm summer evening, Lovelights captures the feeling of sitting with close friends under fading twilight, digging into the hard questions of life and love, while still finding comfort and calm in the togetherness.

The arrangement carries Dellwood’s unmistakable blend of warmth and atmosphere: detailed fingerpicked acoustic guitars float beneath soft vocal layers, while subtle ambient textures suggest the distant sounds of a city winding down for the night. Lovelights embodies that rare stillness where life slows down just enough to breathe, feel, and ultimately, choose peace — even when things hurt.


• Lyrics:

Last night was a long night
When you said, “It’d be alright"

The blades stuck to my window
The frost was yet another signal
We had it coming

The shivering, the watercress
Drifting deep in my chest
We had it coming

Last night was a long night
When you said, “It’d be alright"
Last night was a long night
But we faced that tide
Made up our minds

Oh, we looked inside, knew it’d be alright
In our lovelights, in our lovelights 
Oh, in our lovelights, in our lovelights

Introducing "Traditions & Traitors."
smarturl.it/elskavon-traditions

A few weeks ago, I sat down at the piano with the intention of simply... writing. Running my own business with all sorts of music projects, there's a lot more that happens than just creating. There's emails, files, networking, spreadsheets, research, social media, repairs, practice, finances, on and on... and don't get me wrong - I genuinely enjoy it all, or at least learning and developing different skills. But sometimes the ROOT of what I do and the goals I'm pursuing get lost, and I forget to sit down... and create.

On that day that I sat down at the piano, I ended up writing and recording four songs. I started and finished the entire project in one long sitting. I went back to the root. It was refreshing, and restorative.

This is 'Traditions & Traitors.'

I hope it can be special to you, as well, as you navigate life and its busy seasons. I hope you can sit down for a few minutes and just.... be.

Tendrils is a stunning new meditative instrumental by ambient guitarist Matt C White (Realizer). His previous release on Echoes Blue Music (Sun Set / Sun Rise) was described as "guiding people into a more peaceful and zen like state" by Rural Sounds, while Tome To The Weather Machine wrote that "the way Realizer is able to sculpt distortion, feedback and the pure golden tones ringing through hits a particular sweet spot in ambient music."
