Barely Real

Available on vinyl for the first time since its 1992 release, Barely Real is New York slowcore pioneer Codeine’s austere and explorative mid-career EP, faithfully restored from original master tapes and featuring nine bonus tracks. Packaged as a 2LP (plus a CD archive of all the music) Barely Real gets Numero’s notoriously elaborate treatment including in-depth liner notes and scads of unpublished photos, plus a revealing cluster of demos, rarities, and one live Unrest cover.
