Codeine – Dessau (Barely Green Vinyl) LP (MARKDOWN) Cheap

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.
