Drew & the Medicinal Pen "dream, dream, fail, repeat" $6.00
"These songs are clever, earnest, well performed, and worthy of your time. I haven’t stopped listening since I bought the EP... everyone I know needs to hear this."
-Pulver Radio
"Whistles and chugging guitars punctuate Drew & the Medicinal Pen's folksy bedroom pop, which is always nice. We're going to go daydream now."
-L Magazine
"What's hard to miss about this album is its infectiousness."
-Blow Up Radio
"Songs that would go great on a Wes Anderson soundtrack."
-BadLit.com
"(Drew's) music reminds us of the traveling souls we have met and bonded with on occasion... it's his edge that intrigues us."
-The Fevered Brain of Radio Mike
A friend spotted this in a magazine. Apparently they're being hand-pressed on marble somewhere out in LA. Check it out:
"Drew is a day-dreamer and late-sleeper. He is a doodler and entrepreneur. He also makes music, lots of music: cigarette-butts-in-Chinese-food, insomniac, vodka-breathe, bedroom-pop music. Late at night, he draws graffiti of dead TV's. He is scrappy and young, and moved to NYC from Philadelphia. He currently resides in Bed-Stuy where he plays shows regularly and survives on a diet of tuna and spaghetti. "
I found a letter and a news clipping from you the other day! I believe it accompanied some CD's you mailed me (which I still have and keep safe). Just thought I would say "Hello". Miss you! Hope all is well!
