lyrics
We set out right at dawn
Our sights set upon
The orchards to be found to the west of us
All was icy and cold
The weatherman told
Everyone stay indoors, conditions are treacherous
But we say that’s no big deal
It’s all part of the appeal
What’s the point of living here, and living inside?
One-time opportunities
Take them with impunity
Fill the tires, fill the tank, ready to ride
Ghost apples, ghost apples await
Freezing rain made a pass
The whole world is made of glass
and the apples never picked from the fall
Their insides turn to slush
and give way in a gush
The shell of ice remaining is what we call
Ghost apples, ghost apples await
Yes we say it’s a big deal
Getting out is the appeal
Charge the cameras and load up the iPod
All the things that we must see
While we are at liberty
So put on the crampons, extend the tripod
Ghost apples, ghost apples await
Our sights set upon
The orchards to be found to the west of us
All was icy and cold
The weatherman told
Everyone stay indoors, conditions are treacherous
But we say that’s no big deal
It’s all part of the appeal
What’s the point of living here, and living inside?
One-time opportunities
Take them with impunity
Fill the tires, fill the tank, ready to ride
Ghost apples, ghost apples await
Freezing rain made a pass
The whole world is made of glass
and the apples never picked from the fall
Their insides turn to slush
and give way in a gush
The shell of ice remaining is what we call
Ghost apples, ghost apples await
Yes we say it’s a big deal
Getting out is the appeal
Charge the cameras and load up the iPod
All the things that we must see
While we are at liberty
So put on the crampons, extend the tripod
Ghost apples, ghost apples await

about
Harriet Records Port Jefferson, New York
I ran Harriet Records between 1989 and 1998 out of Cambridge, MA. I released 10 CDs (most of which are available here) and
45 singles. There are 15 "new" releases so far, most recently the new Hussy CD (Bellingham, WA, 1993), and the debut CD by Brooklyn's The Lookout Honeys.

A stunning album that feels at once retro and throwback and also immediate and modern. Speaks to the moment it stemmed from and feeling vital years on.

Uncommon Weather
by The Reds, Pinks & Purplessupported by 12 fans who also own “Ghost Apples”
The Reds, Pinks & Purples invoke a very particular moment of the post-C86/Sarah Records outpost of “college rock” before grunge became the de facto form of “alt rock”. This is pop music like they don’t really make it anymore: Catchy, gloomy, literate, jangly, artsy, occasionally frivolous… like some half-remembered video from the Dave Kendall-era of 120 Minutes.
