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.

The drowsiest and earliest inklings of the slowcore movement can be traced to Codeine’s 1991 debut. Combining the Louisville scene’s relaxed tempo with doom metal’s distorted slurry, the album is a depressing masterpiece of hushed vocals, noisy guitar, and punishing drums. Remastered from the original analog tapes and recreated in painstaking detail, Frigid Stars LP is the NYC trio’s fuzziest and most affecting work.
