Léna Bartels: Folk Musician in New York

About Léna Bartels

Léna Bartels is a New York City–based electronic artist who appears regularly in the downtown basement circuit, including late-night bills at Purgatory. Her sets move between club-tempo structures, textural sequencing, and stretches of open-ended improvisation. She has shared lineups with DJ TK, Porcelain Vivisection, Clown Syndrome, Uncle Blender, Consumer Culture, Grace Givertz, Adelyn Strei, and Hannah Thompson. Her performances tend to favor clarity of sound over spectacle, keeping attention on process and pacing.
