Cinder Well, the folk project of multi-instrumentalist Amelia Baker, announces A Blooming Body, due July 17 via Hen House Studios. Recorded with Harlan Steinberger, the album refines Baker’s stark instrumentation into a stripped, resonance-driven framework where voice and minimal accompaniment occupy a tightly controlled acoustic field. The new single “Beyond The Pale” is out now.
“A hangover, a break-up, a migraine, a confessional,” says Amelia. “This song features the legendary Greg Cohen (Tom Waits, John Zorn) on bass, alongside my dear friend Phillip Rogers (Hayley Hendrickx) on drums. The music video concept came to me in a dream, and as I relayed it aloud in the morning, I figured it was weird enough to actually try. Thanks to Cheech for making the video come to life, and for running around Los Angeles carrying a box full of water with me.”
