Cinder Well

The Experimental "Doom Folk" of Cinder Well, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Aug 1, 2024

Cinder Well is the musical project of singer and songwriter Amelia Baker, who is from California but who fell under the spell of Irish folk music and eventually moved to 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 latest record, Cadence, is full of evocative, often elusive imagery and her quietly intense vocals. 

Set list: 1. Two Heads, Grey Mare 2. Overgrown 3. From Behind the Curtain
