Stoned & Alone
Old Flame Records
ADDS 12/4/12
DIGITAL ONLY

"The Pharamcy manage to be incredibly catchy while remaining oddly hostile. Imagine what the British Invasion would have sounded like if the aggression been literal." - VICE

"The Pharmacy makes a kind of music that is indebted to some of those people six feet under the ground, rotting in coffins in New Orleans and Chicago, calling on some of the penniless, but genius jazz and blues greats while still steeping the root of its sound in old-timey, popular, rock and roll music - the kind of music that came during those times when people thought about A sides and B sides and when the idea of recorded music and playback was as thrilling as anything out there." - Daytrotter

The band (singer/guitarist Scottie Yoder, drummer Brendhan Bowers, and keyboardist Stefan Rubicz) had help from Brandon Eggleston (The Mountain Goats, tUnE-yArDs). The seasoned producer/engineer provided the firm, yet flexible hand that The Pharmacy needed to add some impressive touches to Stoned & Alone - the string section that underpins the rattling rocker "Your Eyes"; backing vocals that provide a vintage soul touch to album opener "At The Top of the Ivory Stairs".

Don't take the title of this album as gospel. Stoned & Alone is meant to be shared with as many ears as possible, sober or otherwise. Crank it up at your next dance party and watch the sparks fly. Or drop it on your turntable when you're sitting solo and high and soak it up. No matter how you ingest this, The Pharmacy will provide the perfect soundtrack.
