Garland of Hours formed in Washington, DC in 2000 when Amy Domingues began performing her keyboard and cello-based songs with a rotating cast of friends, including Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Messthetics), Jerry Busher (Allscars, Shadow Riot), Brandon Butler (Boys Life, Canyon), and Mary Timony (Helium, Ex Hex). Her self-titled debut appeared not long after, and an appearance in the DC music documentary Burn to Shine. Two subsequent albums "The Soundest Serum" (2007) and "Lucidia" (2012) followed. Domingues returns with a new album in 2026 and a return to live performances.
