CODEINE - DEATHCRASH

"the group's output really does stand up; they were more important in the early 90s than most people realize today"

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, 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. 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 the Sun) and follow sold-out shows in New York City and LA earlier this year
