Lucidia (2012)
$12.00
With references to Renaissance ballads, 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 the lyric melodies of earlier Garland albums, Domingues' latest effort mixes ancient and modern influences to glorious effect. Mary Timony (Helium, Wild Flag) contributes guitar on several tracks.

The Soundest Serum (2007)
$12.00
Released in May 2007 on Noble Task Records.
"Amy Domingues has played cello on albums by many of D.C.'s biggest names -- Fugazi, Ted Leo and Bob Mould, just to name a few. On "TheSoundest Serum," she proves she's no mere sidewoman, though, as sheleads her band through a strong set nine-song set. The tracks rangefrom the torchy, spooky murder ballad "Dear Henry" -- highlighted bythe cutting guitar work of frequent collaborator Mary Timony -- tothe bouncy, piano-driven "Brick Eyes" to the solo-cello showcase ofalbum closer "Difficult Run." There's certainly a medieval feel tothe proceedings, but this isn't Renaissance Faire fare. It's hip,seductive chamber pop done right." Washingtonpost.com

Garland of Hours (self-titled) 2003
$12.00
Garland of Hours' self-titled CD isn't a Dischord release, but all the trio's members have played with Fugazi, Dischord's flagship act, and one of them, multi-instrumentalist Brendan Canty, is a founding member of that band. The chamber-rock ... Full Descriptiongroup's central figure is cellist Amy Domingues, who also plays keyboards and sometimes sings. Two of these seven pieces, which range from the album's 12-minute jazz-classical-minimalist centerpiece "Esperance/Annamite" to the traditional ballad "Katie Cruel," are Domingues solo showcases. The threesome's melding of genres isn't especially bold, but it is skillful and consistently melodious. Of Washington's many experimental post-post-punk combos, Garland of Hours is the only one that owes more to Erik Satie than to Black Sabbath." Mark Jenkins - Washington Post
