90's band Codeine is playing in support of their lost album Dessau, recorded in 1992 but released just last year, along with new, colored vinyl reissues of their three original Sub Pop records: Frigid Stars LP, Barely Real (EP), and The White Birch, all via the archival label Numero Group.
With the release of Frigid Stars LP (1990), Codeine almost single-handedly invented what would later become known as "slowcore." Predating influential albums by kindred spirits Low and Duster by almost half a decade, Codeine's slow, graceful songs support lyrics that are a disturbingly pure embodiment of depression.
~~~~~~~~
Between 1990 and 1994, the New York City based band CODEINE released three groundbreaking records on Sub Pop - "Frigid Stars LP", "Barely Real", and "The White Birch" - that have continued to intrigue and inspire. On May 22, the acclaimed reissue label Numero Group will release all three records as vinyl double-albums with cd's, adding previously unreleased songs, b-sides, demos, and live material. All 6 lp's will also be available as a limited edition box set with a bonus 7". To celebrate these releases, the original lineup of Codeine (John Engle, Stephen Immerwahr, Chris Brokaw) will play a short series of live dates - just under 20 shows between April and July 2012, including the All Tomorrows Parties (Tokyo and London) and Primavera Sound (Barcelona and Porto) festivals.
