Cinder Well is the moniker of Amelia Baker, an artist whose work weaves a poignant tapestry of neo-folk solemnity with the rich traditions of American and Irish folk music. Emerging from the vibrant underground punk and folk scenes, the music of Cinder Well is a window into the depths of folkloric storytelling and its intersection with personal reflection and emotional landscapes. Baker’s ethereal voice and deft finger-picking guitar style serve as a haunting vessel for her deeply resonant songwriting.

In recent years, Cinder Well has carved out a significant niche in the contemporary folk world, marked by the release of critically acclaimed albums like "No Summer" in 2020, which further established the artist's reputation for crafting beautifully dark and introspective music. Through the exploration of both self-written and traditional material, Cinder Well’s projects like "The Unconscious Echo" (2018) and tracks such as "A Scorched Lament" and "Wandering Boy" are testament to this approach, wherein the past and present commingle to create a unique tapestry of sound that is both timeless and urgently relevant. Fans and new listeners alike are drawn in by the haunting, minimalist arrangements that allow Baker's powerful storytelling to shine through, casting an entrancing spell that is hard to resist.
