Codeine is an American band, formed in New York in 1989, and it is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of slowcore. On 18 May 2027 the group plays Loppen in Copenhagen, bringing material from the archival release Dessau. The concert is billed as the band's first appearance in Copenhagen since the 1990s, which gives the evening a particular sense of occasion.
About the show
The set draws on Dessau, a collection of recordings from June 1992 that was released by Numero Group. Because the material comes from a single period, the concert offers a focused look at the band's sound: slow tempos, sparse arrangements and a quiet intensity that rewards close listening.
Why visit
- A rare Copenhagen appearance by a band with a significant place in slowcore history.
- A performance built around recordings that were only recently made available to the public.
- A chance to see the band in a small club setting, at Loppen.
Codeine's recent European touring has drawn strong audiences, with sold-out shows in London and Paris in 2023, so demand for this date may be high. Visitors planning a trip can check the venue's calendar page for the event details and for any updates before booking.
