AMETHYST (LIMITED EDITION 10' VINYL/DIGITAL)

With distortion pedals and walls of feedback, Apollo Ghosts -
"Amethyst," overflows with introspection, defiance, and the
frustration of grappling with the world's ills, contrasting the
monotony of daily life with climate anxiety, the rise of autocracies
with the rise of apathy. But throughout, the album cements Apollo
Ghosts' status as lifelong underground music defenders and
eternal optimists. There are plenty of nods to 90s indie rock
heroes Yo La Tengo, Dead Moon, Pavement, Guided By Voices,
Eric's Trip, and Built To Spill.
Amethyst isn't just purple quartz, it's a talisman that protects you
from the the dangers of overindulgence. It turns thought into
action. Wear an amethyst crystal, crank the crappy Peavy amp,
record an album over a weekend. Bring it to an island, carry it
through the forest, and spend the day ripping out invasive plants.
Wildfires will still burn and storm surges won't stop eroding our
shorelines, but maybe an amethyst amulet will remind you to stay
awake and keep fighting for a more just world.
Amethyst is the first new music cut to wax from these Vancouver
indie rock heros since the mighty and expansive Pink Tiger
double LP in 2022. Apollo Ghosts will be touring Germany in
March and Canada in the summer of 2025.
