Codeine

SUMMARY

After a brief European tour in 2023 (including sold-out shows in London and Paris), and more recent performances in South America and Japan, 90’s band Codeine returns to play a dozen shows in support of their lost album Dessau, recorded in 1992 but recently(ish) released by the archival label Numero Group, along with remastered vinyl of their original Sub Pop/Glitterhouse records.

These will be Codeine's first-ever appearances in Türkiye, Sweden, and Norway; as well as first-ever shows in cities in Belgium, France, Germany, and Italy.

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 half a decade, Codeine's slow, graceful songs support lyrics that are a disturbingly gentle embodiment of depression and disassociation.

ABOUT DESSAU

Recorded June 1992 at Harold Dessau Recording studio in New York City with founding drummer/guitarist Chris Brokaw, Dessau consists of alternate versions of songs later re-recorded for their Barely Real EP and The White Birch, the latter with drummer Doug Scharin (Rex/June of 44). Numero Group resurrected the Dessau recordings, now released with the original planned artwork: a turbulent blue-green painting by American tonalist Thomas Wilmer Dewing.
