Format: Vinyl, LP, Album. Slowcore, postrock, grunge, sadcore, whatever you want to call it - this is a phenomenal album. Easily as good as anything Low, Slint, Bitch Magnet, et al ever produced. Shame they split up. Would love to know which other bands the members went on to be in. Doug Scharin i know was in Rex, HIM, Directions in Music, and June of 44 - but the others?

1991 Sub Pop. The catalog number is printed on the spine and CD as SP 107B and SP107B, respectively. One version has nothing other than the cat and Mastered By Nimbus printed on the disc ring.
Codeine was an American indie rock band formed in 1989 in New York City and later based in Chicago. The band broke up in 1994 shortly after the release of The White Birch, but reunited to play a handful of shows in 2012.
It was chosen by Pitchfork in 2008 as one of the 20 best Sub Pop albums.
As for the album, the tone isn't cold or unemotional, but simply gripped by a deep black mood, where everything seems on the verge of suddenly going wrong or collapsing. There's a cryptic warmth in the slow tempos and feedback produced from the deliberate strumming and chords from John Engle and Chris Brokaw's guitars.

The indie/underground volcanic bubble was on the verge of erupting. Galaxie 500 sounds a bit too popish and perhaps amateur to be compared with Codeine. If you like music for the emotions stirred, for the levels of rage, or joy or hate or energy or peace that music can give you, this is the, it is hard to say pinnacle, more like the low-point of depression in music. This album tore through me on first listen and I ROCKED to it, but it was not your typical rocking, it was pure catharsis, so I bought it, then I listened to it again and again and truly realized what a sad, bleak, hopeless, tortured, almost-unbearably painful, BEAUTIFUL LP of music this album is.
