Numero

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.

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.

Back In Stock

After the success of Codeine’s Frigid Stars LP, the trio of Stephen Immerwahr, John Engle, and Chris Brokaw booked time at Harold Dessau Recording in June 1992 to track an eight-song sophomore album. A few days and a couple of unexplainable high-pitched frequencies later, the record was scrapped, shelved, and forgotten about. Brokaw left the band shortly after, and these songs were re-tracked in various iterations for Codeine’s final LP. On its 30th anniversary, Numero has unearthed these recordings, restoring the original White Birch to the band’s exacting standards with producer Mike McMackin. A slowcore masterpiece hidden in plain sight.
