Codeine set dates for reunion tour in support of reissued albums, because there is still yearning left to do

When Codeine broke up back in 1994, it was because there was no yearning left to do. “We tried to find more yearning, but there was none to find, so that’s that,” said every member of Codeine, circa 1994. After recording three albums of very slow, very sad music, they disappeared from the earth, just as swiftly as they were slow. However, maybe there’s still some yearning left? If there is, Codeine will find it and they will find it during their reunion shows.

Currently, those reunion shows are in places like Seattle, Chicago, Tokyo, London, etc. If there are more dates to add, they will probably announce those dates very slowly. You know how these guys do.

But, hey, if you don’t know how these guys do, you can get another chance soon. On May 5, Numero Group will reissue Codeine’s three albums on vinyl and CD, flush with singles, demos, Peel session tracks, and live material. If you’re really dedicated to Codeine’s slowly rotating snowflakes of songs, you can purchase a three-album set, limited to 1000 copies. There’s nothing like being dedicated to a slowly rotating snowflake.
