Garland of Hours
(2002) Arrest Records
Garland of Hours' self-titled debut album melds the talents of Amy Domingues (Telegraph Melts, All Scars, Threnody Ensemble), Brendan Canty (Fugazi) and Jerry Busher (Fugazi, French Toast, All Scars). Domingues, who has contributed to over 40 recordings by such varied groups as Fugazi, Jets To Brazil, Mary Timony and Edith Frost, steps into the songwriter's limelight in this band as keyboardist/vocalist/cellist. The dark re-telling of ye olde ballad "Katie Cruel," the questioning tones of "Word Versus" and the cinematic instrumental epic "Esperance/Annamite" are just a few of the songs tapped from the emotional well of the album.
