Cherry Red Records are delighted to announce a best of collection featuring one of the most unique and innovative alternative rock acts of the last twenty years – Drugstore.
Drugstore formed in 1993 and went on to enjoy notable success throughout the rest of the decade with two UK album chart entries for “Drugstore” and “White Magic For Lovers”. They also enjoyed a UK top twenty single with “El President” a duet between Drugstore singer Isabel Monteiro and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.
This collection will bring together songs spanning the band’s 4 albums: from the majestic heights of the socially charged ‘El President’, the fragility of ‘‘Song for Pessoa’, to the disturbing beauty of ‘Clouds’. The tracklist and artwork were created by singer and main songwriter Isabel Monteiro. Isabel’s intimate, smoky vocals and pitch-dark lyrical subject matter, along with the band’s sorrowful guitar and minimalist arrangements, stick them firmly in the lovelorn, caustic company of Dusty in Memphis, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Leonard Cohen.
