Codeine's "Dessau LP" emerges as a haunting exploration of minimalist alt rock, expertly capturing the tension between fragility and weight. The lead track "Sea" sets a tone of introspection, while the band's unique approach creates a palpable sense of space that almost threatens to collapse under its own breath. This release from Numero is a fine addition to the collection of any serious music aficionado, underlining a pivotal era in alternative music history that still resonates today.
