A well is a stone-encircled place of depth, keeping an abundance of water for survival. InchWellInch is also a phrase for pause, for transition in language. Our tears can well up and bubble over. To define ourselves as InchwellInch is the most basic term of goodness. What's on the other side of the well? Inside the tunnel of change, or this life, we can either feel intimidated by the darkness of uncertainty, or excited by the possibility of nourishment. Songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Jess Shoman wonders, Inchwhat the hell,Inch why don't we go for the excess of love we deserve? Tenci's album A Swollen River, A Well Overflowing becomes a gathering and collection of well-like vessels - cups, puddles, fists - to hold tight to this love and newfound joy. A Swollen River, A Well Overflowing is Tenci's second album, coming after their 2020 debut My Heart Is An Open Field, which introduced Jess Shoman's music explorations to the world. Shoman admits that their first album dealt with letting go of painful life experiences, resulting in emptiness. In this recent collection of wiser years and distance from that former grief, Tenci carries an opposite feeling, a celebration of self-rejuvenation. A Swollen River, A Well Overflowing shows Shoman steering their inventive music further and wilder, spilling over with 12 fable-like songs. In a combination of milk, coins, glass, water, and light, each song forms a spell to Inchfill my heart back up,Inch Shoman says, Inchby reframing complex feelings by turning my head sideways and seeing them in a different way.Inch

Oceans flow through the center of Cinder Well's music. 'Cadence', the new album from Amelia Baker's experimental folk project, drifts between two far-flung seas the hazy California coast where she grew up, and the wind-torn swells of Western Ireland that she's come to love. Written soon after the of 2020's acclaimed 'No Summer', Baker returned to her hometown in central California to record at Harlan Steinberger's nearby Hen House Studios in Venice Beach. Inspired by this new setting, Baker expanded Cinder Well's sound to include percussion, trance electric guitar, and expansive string parts. The doom folk and traditional Irish influences of No Summer are still present but often give way to a more optimistic and relaxed atmosphere that nods to LA's mythical Laurel Canyon years. Across nine epic tracks, Baker treads a sonic and lyrical path between the two coastal towns she calls home, her transcendental voice given new wings by the record's sweeping arrangements.
