Codeine - Barely Real - Tape

After the scrapped Dessau sessions in 1992, Codeine returned with an EP of icyand effervescent tracks. Clocking in at abrisk 25 minutes, the six-song 12" features drummer Chris Brokaw's final recordings with the group, plus noisy guitar from Bitch Magnet's Jon Fine and a solo piano arrangement from Bastro's David Grubbs. Remastered from the original analog tapes and recreated in painstaking detail, Barely Real is the slowcore classic your therapist warned you about.
