Denver Stahl An indie pop dream and my most anticipated rerelease of 2023. If you're a fan of any of Harriet's catalogue from the 90s to now, you're going to love this album. Just give it one listen and you'll be hooked. Favorite track: Sound Of My Alarm.

    6-panel sleeve with old band photos, original art, and, best of all (I am very excited about this!) Marc made the CD itself look exactly like an old Harriet single. It's worth the price just for that!

It's not really all that clear what you're doing here. I haven't seen you in a while but I recognize your style. Is it true? There seems to be some rumours afloat and I wonder what they'll say if you and I just walk away. Can I tell you a secret that no one knows? The stars mixed with the snow sorta magnified your glow. Cause I'm saying things I know I shouldn't say, but I can't resist your charm or us walking arm to arm. Tonight... Let's forget who we know and do everything we say. They can stand around and we'll get in their way. If I can just stay calm and not slip in any snow I can keep up with you anywhere you go.

You didn't need to look forward. I know what you're looking at. I was looking too. Now there's no looking back. You didn't need to talk in words I know I'm afraid to say I didn't wanna get into this Now you couldn't drag me away. You didn't need to be careful if our fingers happened to touch. There has always been in motion and slow could be so good for us. You didn't need to talk in words I know I'm afraid to say You didn't wanna get into this Now I can't drag you away.

I should be sleeping but my heart is beating so much faster than my body needs it to. What I thought was just another evening could be remembered as the night I met you. Reading your face like braille Wanting to read your mind Is guaranteed to fail Still I try. Who's alone when there is promise? I wanna believe that you are tough. It's not a decision. It's what's given not given up. Reading your face like braille Wanting to read your mind Is guaranteed to fail Still I try. Lying behind wood & strings a suburban boy & his tales of woe. Putting all of his faith in a face that he is yet to know. Who's alone when there is promise? I wanna believe that you are tough It's not a decision. It's what's given not given up.

I kept my balance leaning on your shoulder. You kept your footing holding me up. The ties that bind are slowly fraying and not as strong as they once we're. I saw it all in the rise & the fall. You opened a lid full of tears. The look in your eye left me beside myself and all alone with this fear...my dear. A certain uneasy sort of progress Was I the one who opened that door? I thought that we walked through it together. When you closed it shut I'm not sure. I saw it all in the rise & the fall. You opened a lid full of tears. The look in your eye left me beside myself and all alone with this fear...my dear.

about

Kisswhistle was the Harriet band that got away—or rather, Harriet got away before they had a chance to record a CD, which they did in 1999, a year after I ended the label. They met at Penn State, then reconvened in Pittsburgh to deliver the goods—which included a Wimp Factor XIV cover on the CD and two Sean Tollefsen-adjacent covers on later efforts. But the stars of the show were Marc Pattini's wry lyrics and winsome melodies, backed by an all-star indie-pop cast. This compilation presents their "Steady As She Goes" CD, plus 16 more songs that comprise most of their additional recorded output and a handful of previous unreleased tracks—including a new re-recording of "Eyelashing" from the CD, with their final bass player who never got a chance to record with them in the older times.
