Codeine "Frigid Stars"

Codeine is a band from New York. Its genre is slowcore / indie rock / sadcore. This LP is their first release. Here it is a nice comparison with other bands of similar genres: "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 track list is the following:
A1 D

A2 Gravel Bed

A3 Pickup Song

A4 New Year's

B1 Second Chance

B2 Cave-In

B3 Cigarette Machine

B4 Old Things
My favourite tracks are: "D", "New Year's" and "Old Things". It isn't as experimental as some of their other record here.

The song "Old Things" can be heard below:

Low- their studio albums


Low are a great band hailing Duluth, Minesotta, and were formed in 1993. Coined as the one of the main bands of the "slowcore" genre, although they dislike this term. By the way, a synonym of "slowcore" is also "sadcore". If you live in Portugal, be sure to check them out at the famous music festival "Sudoeste": they are playing 8th August there.
Next I will give you a this link that redirects you to a blog where you can download almost their entire studio albums.

One of my favourite songs of this band is called "Words" and is featured on their first album named "I could live in hope": hope you like it.
