About this item

After the scrapped Dessau sessions in1992, Codeine returned with an EP of icy and effervescent tracks. Clocking in at a brisk 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 slow core classic your therapist warned you about. “As far away from traditional rock & roll heart as a post-stellar universe is to the Big Bang.”—The Quietus
