Tickets are now available for Codeine at The Garage!
90’s band Codeine is playing 10 EU/UK shows 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,BarelyReal(EP), andcThe White Birch, all via the archival label Numero Group.With the release ofFrigid 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. The band ground to a halt in 1995, their final release being a cover of Joy Division’s “Atmosphere,” which recently found its way onto the tv series,13 Reasons Why.These will be Codeine’s first non-US shows since 2012 (when they played a similar number of dates supporting Numero’s compendium,When I See theSun)and follow sold-out shows in New York City and LA earlier this year.
