Codeine pioneered the Slowcore and Sadcore subgenres of Indie Rock, but with a more experimental attitude than other bands in the genre, such as Low, Idaho and Red House Painters.

The bands original tone, marked by slow tempos, Immerwahrs nasal vocals, and Engles ringing Telecaster, did not evolve much during their career.

Their second release, the short album Barely Real was issued in 1992.

Immerwahr rejected several of the songs after the recording session.

Some of these songs would be re-recorded for the final album.

The song W. is a solo performance on piano by David Grubbs (of Bastro, Squirrel Bait and Gastr del Sol).

A somewhat different full-band version of the song appears on Codeines next album, now titled Wird.

Brokaw left the band after the release of Barely Real to play full-time with his other band Come, and was replaced by drummer Doug Scharin.

Codeines next and final release was the full-length album The White Birch, released in 1994.

Doug Scharin continued in Rex and June of 44, and later as the band leader of HiM.

Following the demise of Come, original drummer Chris Brokaw became a solo artist and itinerant guitarist, most recently (2007) with Thurson Moore Sonic Youth.

All three albums will have subjected to Numeros notoriously elaborate packaging and detailed liner notes, including essays by Sub Pops Jonathan Poneman, Love Childs Alan Licht, and the Flaming Lips Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd.

The albums have been faithfully restored from the original masters, and are accompanied by a plethora of singles, demos, live recordings, and Peel sessions.

Each album will be packaged as a double album with a CD of the same material.

Additionally, an ultra deluxe box set of all three albums is available in a limited edition of 1000 copies.

The box set features no additional tracks, but does come with a 5 x 1 fold-out poster of the bands complete discography and a tidy box that holds all three albums National Geographic-style.
