#4949, From the Soundcheck Podcast: Cinder Well
Cinder Well is the musical project of singer and songwriter Amelia Baker, who is based in California but who fell under the spell of Irish folk music and spent time in County Clare on Ireland’s west coast. Cinder Well’s music often has a haunted, nocturnal quality – her 2020 album No Summer was widely referred to as “doom folk” - where the drone, darkness, and space may overlap with that in the metal world. Her work is also informed by traditional forms and tunes of County Clare, even as she adds haunting and meditative soundscapes to her original tunes. Her latest record, Cadence, is full of evocative, often elusive imagery and her quietly intense vocals. Cinder Well performs intimate arrangements of her songs, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik
