Dellwood is the latest musical chapter from Minneapolis-based artist and producer Chris Bartels, known for his expansive catalog of deeply atmospheric and emotive music under various monikers, including Elskavon, Blurstem, Olma, Glass Echoes, and more. With Dellwood, Bartels returns to his acoustic roots, blending intricate folk storytelling with cinematic ambient production to create an organic soundscape that is both intimate and expansive.

Inspired by the natural beauty of Minnesota and the vulnerability of personal experience, Dellwood’s music captures raw emotion through layered rubber-bridge-muted guitars, sonically stirring production, and haunting-yet-familiar vocals, ranging from airy falsetto to deep, rich bellows. Bartels’ love for adventuring his home state and the surrounding Midwest plays a central role in the creative process, with nature not only inspiring the songs but often acting as a co-writer of sorts. Frequently taking pen, pad, and guitar outside the studio walls, Bartels allows the landscapes around him to shape the emotional and sonic tones of Dellwood’s music.

Drawing influences from artists like Bon Iver, Novo Amor, Hazlett, and RY X, Dellwood finds beauty in quiet spaces, crafting songs that explore themes of longing, loss, and connection. The project highlights Bartels' ability to merge the organic with the atmospheric, utilizing field recordings and delicate guitar work to create soundscapes that resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level.
