I saw their reunion show and someone yelled one more song, and he just said "we haven't played in 18 years" and left.

Your videos are excellent, and your knowledge is superb. I have been a fan of the slow core genre for nearly 3 decades and you have managed to expose me to bands from that era that I didn't know about, or have ignored until now. Thank you! Would really like to see a story of Sebadoh and a Will Oldham one too. Keep up the great work!

@@TheMusicNarrative Ooooh, Down Colorful Hill from RHP is such a great piace of music history, can't even describe how many time Medicine Bottle and Japanese To English made me company during bad times! I know they're pretty famous but I'd like if you'd made a video about Low, I mean, they're Low, they are the slowcore! Also, I think Arab Strap are such an underappreciated band and Philophobia it's one of the best albums ever made, it's a shame they do not have the love they deserve :( Also, my all time favorite is Carissa's Wierd, can't even describe how much they stab my soul every damn time...

The fact that Codeine's most popular song is a cover of a Joy Division song is sort of annoying to me. Like imagine if Swans' cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was their most popular song. It just doesn't express how great their songwriting was. Codeine created monolithic sounds, depressing and catchy grunge songs slowed down to a pace that truly reflects the lethargy of overwhelming sadness.

They also played Europe in 2012. Had the privelege of seeing them at Atp London 2012. I don't think The White Birch is any more minimal than Frigid Stars or Barely Real. It's just better produced. The sound is the same. And I don't think they were remotely influenced by slint. They were contemporaries, formed and done when they put out records at the same time. But great video, covering these bands 👍

Was "New Year's" by Seam released a few years before it was on their 1992 album since Frigid Stars was 1990?
@TheMusicNarrative
4 жыл бұрын
Daniil Zadorozhnyy I would assume so. Maybe the bands knew each other and Codeine requested to cover the song before it’s official release? Or maybe a demo was recorded long before the album version? Not quite sure, but Seam definitely made the song first.

Yea this jarred with me, cos Frigid Stars came out a couple of years before Headsparks, but they were mates (Steve and Sooyoung, I'm guessing so cos Steve did sound for Bitch Magnet in Europe) so I guess the song could have been floating around for a while. But codeine recorded it first. I always thought the Seam version was a cover of Codeine. But the transition of Bitch Magnet to Seam was pretty quick I thought? And New Years doesn't sound like a Bitch Magnet song, far from it. So I'm confused. Maybe someone can solve this fascinating mystery. Please don't ask me to dig out my old cds. Chortle chortle
