Music
As with its predecessor, Bakesale, the songwriting on Harmacy was handled primarily by Loewenstein and founding member Lou Barlow, with Fay contributing the lone track, "Sforzando!," and the band covering "I Smell a Rat" by American hard rock band The Bags. Their cover was featured on the soundtrack for the 1998 American comedy-thriller film Homegrown.
Like Bakesale, the album found Sebadoh flirting "with (relatively) polished production", as well as a pervasive use of electric guitars and longer song structures, marking a clear departure from the band's lo-fi, often acoustic earlier albums like their landmark release, Sebadoh III (1991).

The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!

Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.”

But get some color and music out of life?”
