Prepare to be electrified by "Pharmacy," the debut studio album by the zesty Swedish duo Galantis! Released on June 8, 2015, this lively collection showcases the duo’s signature electrifying energy and infectious hooks, containing 13 tracks that are destined to keep your feet bouncing and your mood soaring. While it includes zingers like "Runaway (U & I)" and "Peanut Butter Jelly," each track is crafted with a boisterous brilliance that demands attention—each beat reverberating through the soul like a sonic caffeine jolt!
Some listeners say there's a sprinkle of critique in the concoction, arguing that "Pharmacy" could use a pinch more originality to truly sizzle in the dance music cauldron. Critics like John Cameron have mentioned that despite a delectable quality of production, some tunes drift away before etching a permanent groove in the mind.

On the vocals front, Galantis brings together an eclectic ensemble, featuring the versatility of Jennifer Decilveo, Vincent Pontare, Cathy Dennis, and members of Dragonette, ingeniously blending their unique styles into a potpourri of pleasing peculiarity. This range of vocal collaborators introduces an additional layer of shimmering depth, underscoring the duo's dexterity in wrapping diverse voices with their vibrant beats. "Pharmacy" promises an exciting, effervescent experience that whisks electronic dance music enthusiasts onto a restless, rhythm-infused journey. - Romy
