Drugstore（药店小铺），1993於伦敦成军的团，团名从葛斯范桑（Gus Van Sant）的电影《药店牛仔追阳光的少年》（Drugstore Cowboy）而来，女主唱Isabel Monteiro是个巴西人，她的声音有种烟熏过的诡异甜美感，气音很重，好像不能平稳地一直唱一直线，不知道随时要飘像哪里去感觉，却也可以一直这样有气无力的飙高拉低，甚至有一首〈El President〉跟Thom Yorke互飙高音，真是苍凉沙哑与耽溺的怪异综合体。她的嗓音也因此成为Drugstore最吸引人的特质，所以走的也是有点迷茫梦幻甜美路线。 出过三张，都还不赖，第一张迄今已经十年了，很久没听。最近又突然把一些大学时代的东西拿出来听，当初是先听了《White Magic for Lovers》（恋人的白色魔术，1998）这张，感觉既温柔却又残暴，後来才去买到第一张的《Drugstore》（1995）同名专辑，感觉稍有不同，似乎没有第二张那麽情感浓烈，却还是好听。後来多年後，台北台南两地漂移，再在唱片行看到《Songs for the Jet Set & Collector Number One》（2001）这张新歌加精选，只是心里一怔，一个遗忘很久的爱团，於是就带着怀旧的心情将它带回了。
Named in honor of filmmaker Gus Van Sant's indie classic Drugstore Cowboy, the dark, atmospheric British-based trio Drugstore formed in London in 1993. The group was led by vocalist/bassist Isabel Monteiro, an expatriate Brazilian who relocated to the U.K. in 1990; after singing in a number of short-lived groups, she eventually teamed with drummer and Los Angeles native Mike Chylinski, and soon Drugstore began to take shape. Claiming to hate her haunting, smoky voice, Monteiro insisted that the fledgling group test other singers, but when none of the auditions proved suitable, she grudgingly agreed to handle vocal chores.
After originating as a thrash outfit, Drugstore's sound gradually grew slower and more dreamy, hotwiring their music's languid psychedelic beauty with crashing waves of distortion and white noise. Instead of recording a demo, the group issued their debut single, "Alive," on their own Honey label in the spring of 1993. After a flurry of critical acclaim, the follow-up, "Modern Pleasure," appeared as an installment in the Rough Trade Singles Club series. Inviting guitarist Daron Robinson to join the group full-time, Drugstore soon signed to the Go-Discs! label; after issuing the Starcrossed EP at the beginning of 1995, their stunning self-titled debut album followed later in the year. White Magic for Lovers appeared in 1998.
