He is a prolific songwriter who originally started playing in the DC music scene and has been in numerous bands, one of which included Psychic Ills' Tres Warren (something we had no idea of until the two recently bumped into each other in our office). For this 7" Douglas provided us with two tracks, Prince of Wands and Away. Prince of Wands first left an impression on us, and an indelible one at that, when associates of the label began DJing the track. It is a damn near perfect pop song that has had people jumping up to the dancefloor upon first hearing. Singing backup vocals is Ashmatic Kitty recording artist Liz Jane. However, Prince of Wands only represents one aspect of this talented songwriter's sound. Away shows him moving in a different direction with the kind of indie pop reverie that hasn't been heard for a long time. Douglas Armour is currently working on a full-length for The Social Registry, drawing on his large and diverse catalog, so expect to hear a lot more from him soon.
