CINDER WELL https://cinderwell.bandcamp.com
Cadence, the new album from Amelia Baker’s experimental folk project Cinder
Well, drifts between two far-flung seas: the hazy California coast where she grew
up, and the wind-torn swells of Western Ireland that she’s come to love. Released
to critical acclaim back in April on Free Dirt Records, the album’s name refers to
the cycles of our turbulent lives, to the uncertain tides that push us forward and
back.
With Cadence, Baker expands Cinder Well’s sound to include percussion as well as
trance electric guitar and expansive string parts courtesy of Cormac MacDiarmada
of Lankum. While there are still hints of the doom folk that Cinder Well is known
for, Cadence balances heavy lyrics with a more expansive sound that nods to LA’s
mythical Laurel Canyon years.
"There’s a real weight in the opening that pulls you in, lifted by percussion over
which Baker’s words really do work their magic." - Folk Radio UK
