The Pharmacy – “Coldest Morning Light” [Free Download]

Scott Yoder and Brendhan Bowers made plenty of noisy racket in the local garages and teen centers growing up on Vashon Island. They moved across the Puget Sound to Seattle and booked their first tour as The Pharmacy (with then-member Joey Seward) in 2003 and have kept the show pretty much on the road ever since.

The Skinny: Scott Yoder and Brendhan Bowers made plenty of noisy racket in the local garages and teen centers growing up on Vashon Island. They moved across the Puget Sound to Seattle and booked their first tour as The Pharmacy (with then-member Joey Seward) in 2003 and have kept the show pretty much on the road ever since.

In 2006 Joey left for more metal pursuits and classically trained pianist and fellow Vashon kid Stefan Rubicz joined on keyboards. Since then they’ve transformed from the synth-heavy overdrive of their 2005 debut album B.F.F. through the drizzly sunshine of the Overcast Summer 7″ at last landing on the off-kilter psychedelic pop of Choose Yr Own Adventure. Replete with epic instrumentation – viola, violin, cello, harpsichord and horns all make an appearance- Choose Yr Own Adventure has been years in the making, re-vamped re-recorded and re-written over time.

After several months at their new residence of New Orleans, The Pharmacy will be returning to tour to perform some music from their upcoming Don’t Stop Believin’/Seayou LP Weekend. Recorded in the the house that they shared together near Bayou St. John, Weekend is a gritty and much rawer departure from their previous record Choose Yr. Own Adventure. 1960s girl-group style reverb and drum beats, along with a simpler approach to their danceable pop music are evident.
