about

Garland of Hours is a band led by cellist, keyboardist, and vocalist Amy Domingues, whose songwriting reveals influences as varied as 70s British folkrock, medieval modality, and indie rock sensibility. With a Renaissance ballad, and even a solo piece for the archaic viola da gamba, Lucidia reflects the fruition of Domingues' recent work in
historical music performance of 16th-18th centuries as a graduate student at the Peabody Conservatory. Combined with the edgy punk aesthetic of her earlier band Telegraph Melts, and cameos on albums by Bob Mould, Fugazi, Ted Leo, and Jets to Brazil, Domingues' latest effort mixes ancient and modern influences (including a cover of a song by the legendary Baltimore band Lungfish) to glorious effect. Newcomer Stefan Bauschmid provides a solid percussion backbone and veteran Mary Timony (Helium, Wild Flag) contributes guitar on several tracks.

“…. skillful and consistently melodious.
Of Washington’s many experimental
post-punk combos, Garland of Hours is
the only one that owes more to Erik
Satie than to Black Sabbath”
The Washington Post

“… equally haunting and hooky, using
piano, cello and Domingues’ melancholy
voice to evoke an eerie timelessness”
Washington CityPaper
