Codeine - The White Birch (1994)


Opener 'Sea' instantly evokes the sound of the Slint's masterpiece Spiderland, and this instantly won me over. This quiet and almost haunting sound continues throughout the album. While often compared to other early '90s slowcore bands such as Red House Painters and Low, I always thought of Codeine as more reflective of the sounds and feelings of bands such as Slint and June of 44. Dig it.
