75/100
Quite a hidden treasure we have here, Cinder Well or originally Amelia Baker has studied her roots. She uses a guitar refrain in the title track from the 60s, that we've heard a thousand times. She declares that there's no summer here, and "it rains on the concrete, but the whisky has seemed to settle in the greyscale". A bleak soundscape but with a colorful voice and sincere playing. She also had every opportunity to go the cliché route of ending Fallen with a big band emo breakout, luckily she don't and is aware enough that the message relies in that she is, in fact, alone. On top of that, the melody on that song is a bit stinging. She channels a lo-fi Donovan on The Cuckoo, and although I do like it, the clash of dense acoustic with the vocal in the front can get a bit messy; it helps that Old Enough features a more funereal delivery.
But I would say that it uses its few instrumental to varied results. Wandering Boy opens the record with East-African neoclassical vocal agility and Irish violins. Well's tale makes the otherwise warm aesthetic sound cold like intended. Although it was not intended to be hymns to loneliness, it still fills that layer. The Doorway interlude is simply a one minute interlude into that busy, quasi-dystopian world without instruments. The music itself remains frosty and lost, even the Appalachian folk violin acapella Queen of The Earth Child of The Skies is like one soul convincing itself to stay bright in a world with....no summer.
The masterpiece within the album is the stellar Our Lady's, almost a prog-folk tune, that ranks among the most profound of the decade, despite it being in line with the whole record's 70s folk style. The beginning includes two guitars: one that thrives the wind, and a rhythmic one that imitates a banjo and captures the wonders of her tragedy. A sharp string then replaces the first one, adding in a melancholic and thematic piano, the atmosphere feels more dooming, tense, gloomy. Cinder's last part within the Nico-inspired landscape when she states "there is joy there" and not ending with a resolving melody (like how chromaticsun put it). For an album called No Summer, Well knows how to capture a sonic neighborhood of chamber coldness well. [First added to this chart: 07/14/2021]
