by Garland of Hours

supported by

neu-mann What a breath of fresh air this album is, sounding not unlike a more austere stateside cousin of Arthue Jeffes' Penguin Cafe but with a disarming integrity all its own, unplugged and reproduced with audio vérité candor. Favorite track: Morning Of.

martin corey Like old clocks, the pieces here are built of simple movements, propelled by a pendulum swing. But the mechanisms don't unfold as you might expect. The avenue gradually fills with life but never reaches the triumphant major chord we are waiting for, morning of stops and starts, word versus takes doesn't resolve it's questions. Katie Cruel is a bitter ballad from the Steeleye Span song book but with the ghost of Syd Barrett standing in on guitar. Favorite track: Katie Cruel.

about

Garland of Hours formed in 2000 when Amy Domingues began fleshing out her keyboard and cello-based songs with the help of a rotating cast of players, including Brendan Canty, Jerry Busher, Brandon Butler, and Devin Ocampo. Her self-titled debut appeared not long after, as did an appearance in the DC music documentary Burn to Shine. Mixing chamber music with a well-honed ear for pop, Garland of Hours is not to be missed.

The Path of the Clouds
by Marissa Nadler

supported by 5 fans who also own “Garland of Hours”

The ethereal bittersweetness of this album - both in terms of songwriting and soundscape - make this a special treat for those evenings of feeling slightly blue and thus in need of soothing melancholia, peppered with some intrigue. Or for nighttime drives, forlorn walks in the woods et al. Hard to pick a favourite. nevilleshaze
