The story

Codeine is an American indie rock band formed in 1989 in New York City. They released two full-length albums—Frigid Stars LP in 1990 and The White Birch in 1994. Although the group broke up in 1994 shortly after the release of The White Birch, their subdued and melancholic style helped pioneer the then-nascent slowcore subgenre of indie rock. Codeine reunited briefly for shows in 2012 in support of re-issues by Numero Group, and more recently from 2023 onward. A substantial number of shows is planned for 2027.
