Codeine



Subpop's forgotten treasure, Codeine is a standout in its proto slowcore sonority. With their 1990 debut album, one would consider the band as its style predecessor; even the so called fathers of slowcore Galaxie 500 were not as innovative as Codeine, since they are one of the few bands not recreating a down tempo late-career Velvet Underground with a shoegazer attitude.

1990 Frigid Stars is their sludgy, slow-paced flow of dissonant guitar fuzz and sharp bass lines debut album: D, Gravel Bed, Second Chance and Cigarrete Machine are simply breath taking.
Initially touring with David Grubbs' Bastro, the latter Gastr del Sol's frontman ended up playing piano and producing their 1992 album Barely Real, and playing guitar on the follow-up The White Birch - an undisputable masterpiece.

Dear CageDream:

Thank you for the kind words on Codeine. There's a great fan site -- pretty much our official one -- done by Brian here:
http://pry.com/codeine/

I know not all these records are so easy to get. However, I'd appreciate it if you'd take all but one of them down at this point. It's not like I haven't downloaded music before. But one should have new songs on a record to hear as a secondary reward for buying an album b/c it sounds better than an MP3.

Many thanks,

Stephen
