Black vinyl reissue, released as part of Numero Group's 20th anniversary. Due to Codeine's catalogue still being owned by Sub Pop in the US, the reissues were only made available in Europe.
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.
