Lou Barlow wrote "Willing to Wait" for Harmacy, Sebadoh's sixth album, out on Sub Pop in 1996, and he plays guitar on it with Jason Loewenstein on bass and Bob Fay on drums. It was Fay's second and last Sebadoh record; he'd taken over the drums from founding member Eric Gaffney in 1994.
Harmacy picked up where Bakesale left off, trading the hissy, mostly acoustic lo-fi of records like Sebadoh III for a (relatively) polished sound, plenty of electric guitar and longer songs, with the writing again split mostly between Barlow and Loewenstein. Even the album title was a happy accident: Loewenstein snapped a pharmacy in Cashel, Ireland, while on tour, its sign missing the P, and that photo became the cover.
