Numero

The Numero Group is a Chicago-based record label, dedicated to the preservation and celebration of lesser-known artists. Their exploration spans the globe and reaches deep into the recesses of music history to&nbsp;create compilations of previously released music, reissues of original albums, and creation of album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres.

The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.

Codeine was a slowcore band from New York, NY, USA. They formed in 1989 and broke up in 1994.
Known for their melancholic sound and introspective lyrics, Codeine emerged in the late 80s as pioneers of the slowcore genre. Hailing from the vibrant music scene of New York City, they captivated audiences with their haunting melodies and minimalist approach to songwriting.
During their active years, Codeine released several critically acclaimed albums that showcased their unique blend of indie rock and dreamy atmospheres. Their music resonated with listeners who sought solace in its gentle yet emotionally charged compositions.

Back In Stock

After the scrapped Dessau sessions in 1992, Codeine returned with an EP of icy and effervescent tracks. Clocking in at a brisk 25 minutes, the six-song 12” features drummer Chris Brokaw’s final recordings with the group, plus noisy guitar from Bitch Magnet’s Jon Fine and a solo piano arrangement from Bastro’s David Grubbs. Remastered from the original analog tapes and recreated in painstaking detail, Barely Real is the slowcore classic your therapist warned you about.
