Following Green River's dissolution, Ament established [[Mother Love Bone]] in 1988 along with former Green River members Gossard and Fairweather, former [[Malfunkshun]] frontman [[Andrew Wood (singer)|Andrew Wood]], and former [[10 Minute Warning|Ten Minute Warning]] and [[Skin Yard]] drummer [[Greg Gilmore]]. The band quickly worked on recording and performing locally and by late 1988 had become one of Seattle's more promising bands. In early 1989 the band signed to [[PolyGram]] subsidiary [[Mercury Records]]. In March of that year the group issued its debut EP, ''[[Shine (Mother Love Bone album)|Shine]]''.

In late 1989 the group returned to the studio to record its debut studio album, ''[[Apple (Mother Love Bone album)|Apple]]''. It was planned for a March 1990 release. Only days before the release of ''Apple'', however, frontman Wood, who had a long history with drug problems, [[Drug overdose|overdosed]] on heroin. After spending a few days in the hospital in a coma, Wood died, effectively bringing Mother Love Bone to an end. ''Apple'' was released later that year.
