Cindergarden

“For anyone who’s a fan of dark Electronica the name CINDERGARDEN should be indelibly imprinted on your brain. If it’s not, it’s likely to be because you haven’t yet heard the groundbreaking machinations of one Jaymie Valentine, the brains and brawn behind the whole concept, who, as well as turning out some of the most startlingly original and innovative music also turns out to be a very interesting lady.”–Reflections of Darkness

Cindergarden is a fiercely independent artist and now a veteran presence within underground music culture, having recorded and produced a prolific amount of conceptual albums since 2006. She is a singer, songwriter, keyboardist, drum programmer, arranger, and producer whose work has been an uncompromising vision of complete artistry.

With tuned in lyricism that goes beyond the typical and sometimes delves directly into the occult, Cindergarden brings forth a daring yet elegantly refined gothic soul. Punctuated with experimental elements of modern electronics and a vocal panache that is uncommon, her tender “angelgoth” voice casts graceful spells across glitchy beats as well as ivory keys. Her music and lyrics dare the listener to gaze into the darkest abyss and emerge transformed into light.
