Cinder Well is the musical project of LA/ Ireland–based songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Amelia Baker (member of the dark folk band Blackbird Raum and the anarcho-punk band The Gembrokers). Her starkly emotive vocals and surrealistic lyrics are framed by cinematic arrangements drawing from traditional and experimental music. Cinder Well is at the vanguard of a different kind of transatlantic folk revival, one forged amidst the uncertainty of a global pandemic. However, Irish-based songwriter Amelia Baker’s music isn’t nihilistic; instead, it strips traditional forms to their bones, creating a meditative, trance-like space for sonic healing...Baker was inspired by the rich musical connectivity of the pub scene in Ireland, and her move from California to County Clare to study traditional music of the region... Baker’s time on the circuit with Irish trad-punk group Lankum eventually led her to a small settlement in County Clare, and to the rich dissonance of her music as Cinder Well, a dissonance caught between worlds and histories. Recent composing work includes the title track and score for BBC’s Small Prophets, written and directed by Mackenzie Crook. Read more on Last.fm.
