 A white ship sailing in a sea of blackness, Codeine’s swan song arrived in 1994 amid grunge’s ascension to alt radio’s godhead status. John Engle’s guitar alternates between crystalline and sludge, and Stephen Immerwhar’s distorted bass floats on top of punishing drums from newcomer Doug Scharin (Rex, June of 44),
resulting in nine perfect meditations on the loneliness and uncertainty of early adulthood.
 “Codeine’s unyielding numbness creates its own kind of warmth - the feeling of cold water running for so long that it suddenly feels hot.” - Spin
 Available on Washed Up clear with white splatter coloured vinyl.
