First time on CD! After the success of Codeine's "Frigid Stars" LP, the trio of Stephen Immerwahr, John Engle, and Chris Brokaw booked time at Harold Dessau Recording in June 1992 to track an eight-song sophomore album. A few days and a couple of unexplainable high-pitched frequencies later, the record was scrapped, shelved, and forgotten about. Brokaw left the band shortly after, and these songs were re-tracked in various iterations for Codeine's final LP. In 2022, for its 30th anniversary, Numero unearthed these recordings, restoring the original "White Birch" to the band's exacting standards with producer Mike McMackin. A slowcore masterpiece hidden in plain sight.
