Early slowcore pioneers | “Leve Codeine, leve de traagheid”
Tickets on sale on Friday, October 23rd, 10h.
After a brief European tour in 2023 (including sold-out shows in London and Paris), and more recent performances in South America and Japan, 90’s band Codeine returns to play a dozen shows in support of their lost album Dessau, recorded in 1992 but recently(ish) released by the archival label Numero Group, along with remastered vinyl of their original Sub Pop/Glitterhouse records.
With the release of Frigid Stars LP (1990), Codeine almost single-handedly invented what would later become known as “slowcore.” Predating influential albums by kindred spirits Low and Duster by half a decade, Codeine’s slow, graceful songs support lyrics that are a disturbingly gentle embodiment of depression and disassociation.
Codeine – D (HD Visualizer)ABOUT DESSAU
Recorded June 1992 at Harold Dessau Recording studio in New York City with founding drummer/guitarist Chris Brokaw, Dessau consists of alternate versions of songs later re-recorded for their Barely Real EP and The White Birch, the latter with drummer Doug Scharin (Rex/June of 44). Numero Group resurrected the Dessau recordings, now released with the original planned artwork: a turbulent blue-green painting by American tonalist Thomas Wilmer Dewing.
“Dessau arguably stands as the best of Codeine’s three albums, a perfect snapshot of the existential anxiety that can arrive in one’s late 20s, when adolescence fades far into the rearview, but the future is closing in fast.” –Grayson Haver Currin/Bandcamp
PERSONAL QUOTE
“I was very reluctant to play again, afraid to breathe life into these songs again. But talking to people who hadn’t seen the band back then and to whom the music means a lot has absolutely changed my mind, not just about playing but also about what music is actually for. And we’ve been honored by the response to our shows, with even people singing along! So I want to bring that new focus and understanding to these shows now.”
–Stephen Immerwahr
“Listen to Stephen Immerwahr’s dour poetry, John Engle’s tolling guitars, and Chris Brokaw’s glacial drumming, and picture falling snow. The sound, which typified the slowcore indie-rock sub-genre, is so chilling, precise, and beguilingly extreme — shy, then crashing — that it recalibrates the vast spaces around each inquisitive note. It becomes an exploration of tone and tension, and a desolate meditation.” – The New Yorker USA 2023
“Codeine kwam van ver en overspoelde ons met verleden: dikke bassen en mooie woorden uit 1992 vonden hun weg naar fans van toen en jonge nektapijten van nu. De wijze woorden en authentieke emotie van Dessau zijn dertig jaar oud, maar kennen klaarblijkelijk geen houdbaarheidsdatum. Meer nog, ze lijken extra te resoneren bij een resem gen Z’ers, nog niet geboren toen in 1992, maar gisteren wel op de eerste rij. Leve Codeine, leve de traagheid.”
– Dansende Beren BEL 2023
“Codeine has some antecedents, from Pink Floyd and Neil Young — Mr. Immerwahr shares his high-tenor register — to the arty post-punk of bands like MX-80, but it forged its own sound. Its songs start out quiet and sparse, only to gather volume and gravity, crashing and tolling, yet somehow staying austere, even diffident. They crest and then fall away, often with a lingering instrumental coda, ending up no more fulfilled than they were as they began. The music was grunge’s withdrawn, desolate cousin. The era’s preferred suffix was “-core,” so Codeine was tagged “slowcore” and “sadcore,” mini-genres that would be continued by bands like Low and Red House Painters after Codeine disbanded.”
– New York Times USA 2012
“Codeine’s deliberate pace suited songs freighted with Immerwahr’s angst. “My emotional state, my disassociation from others, was the core of it,” he admits. But this music was emotional without the histrionics of grunge. “It was a reaction to that Eddie Vedder style of singing. What suited these songs, my own lived experience, was something smaller, something anti-epic.” Possessed of a simmering power, their 1990 debut album Frigid Stars LP was championed in the UK by John Peel.”

TITLE: American Catholics reported a greater sense of meaning in life after Pope Leo XIV’s election, study finds
The election of Pope Leo XIV in May 2025 was followed by a modest rise in the sense of meaning in life among a sample of practicing Roman Catholics in the United States, according to a study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology. Through the end of the study’s 10-day post-election window, participants reported a stronger sense that their lives had meaning, along with a gradual decline in their search for meaning. The pattern held after the researchers accounted for participants’ religious commitment and their feelings about the new pope sharing their American nationality.
In psychology, meaning in life refers to the subjective judgment that one’s existence is worthwhile, makes sense, and is guided by an overarching purpose. Psychologists break this concept down into three parts: having a motivational goal or purpose, feeling that life is coherent, and believing that one’s life matters. Rather than treating meaning as a single feeling, researchers distinguish between the presence of meaning and the search for meaning. As a 2006 validation study demonstrated, already feeling that one’s life has purpose is distinct from actively looking for something that makes life feel meaningful.
Religion is a major source of this sense of purpose for many people. For example, a 2005 study found that religious people tend to report greater well-being, largely because they feel their lives have purpose and direction. Similarly, a study covered by PsyPost in 2022 indicated that religious individuals tend to experience a stronger sense of meaning largely through feeling that they matter on a grand, cosmic scale.
Most psychological research on religion and meaning has examined steady, long-term beliefs rather than specific religious events. One of the most prominent rituals in the Roman Catholic tradition is the papal conclave, the secluded meeting of cardinals inside the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope. Filled with symbolic traditions like burning ballots to send black or white smoke from a chimney and the Latin announcement of “Habemus Papam” (“We have a Pope”), the conclave is framed by the Church as a moment of divine guidance.
The research, led by Stefan Stieger of Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Austria, examined whether living through this major religious transition alters how Catholics experience meaning from day to day. The authors drew on three psychological frameworks to explain how a papal election might affect believers. Under the meaning-making model, the death of a pope may create a temporary spiritual void that disrupts a believer’s worldview, and electing a successor may help restore a sense of order and coherence.
Social identity theory offers a second perspective, suggesting that people derive self-worth from belonging to social groups; losing a leader can threaten that shared identity, whereas choosing a new leader may restore group unity. A third possibility involves emotional contagion, the tendency for feelings to spread rapidly across a crowd or through global media coverage. For instance, a 2024 field study of a public Hindu ritual found that participants who stood close to one another during the ceremony experienced synchronized emotional arousal, showing how collective religious practices can align feelings across a group.
To capture how the 2025 papal transition affected believers in real time, the researchers used an experience sampling method. Instead of asking people to recall their feelings weeks later, this technique prompts participants to answer short smartphone surveys during their normal daily routines, reducing memory biases. Beginning on May 3, 2025, four full days before the conclave started, the team tracked participants across 14 consecutive days covering the pre-conclave, conclave, and post-conclave phases.
The researchers recruited English-speaking United States citizens through the online platform Prolific who identified as practicing Roman Catholics. After excluding 17 individuals who did not identify as Roman Catholic, dropped out early, or provided inconsistent demographic data, the final sample consisted of 117 American Roman Catholics. Participants ranged in age from 19 to 76 years, with an average age of about 45, and were split nearly evenly between men (52.1 percent) and women (47.9 percent).
At the start of the study, participants installed an open-source smartphone app called ESMira and completed a baseline survey. On 1-to-100 scales, the group reported being fairly religious on average (72.7) and relatively balanced between conservative and progressive views in both their theological orientation (46.1) and political views (47.4). They also completed a 10-item questionnaire measuring both their private religious devotion and their involvement in their church community.
Every evening at 8:00 p.m. local time, the app prompted participants to complete an end-of-day survey assessing their current sense of meaning in life. Using a 7-point scale from 1 (absolutely untrue) to 7 (absolutely true), participants rated five statements about the presence of meaning (such as “At this moment, I understand my life’s meaning”) and five statements about the search for meaning (such as “At this moment, I am looking for something that makes my life feel meaningful”). Across the two-week window, the 117 participants completed 1,470 daily questionnaires.
When the cardinals elected Pope Leo XIV, an unexpected factor emerged: the new head of the Catholic Church was also from the United States. To help account for the possibility that any boost in meaning among the American participants was a byproduct of national pride, the researchers added a question to the final survey. Participants rated how much Pope Leo XIV’s American background influenced their feelings toward him on a scale from -4 (much more negative) to +4 (much more positive).
To analyze the daily ratings, the researchers divided the timeline into a four-day pre-conclave baseline, the conclave phase (from the first black smoke signal until the day before the election), and 10 post-conclave days starting with the day of the papal announcement. Using multilevel statistical models, they tracked daily changes within each individual while controlling for age, gender, personal and social religious commitment, and feelings about the pope’s American nationality.
Across the four pre-conclave baseline days, participants averaged 5.16 out of 7 on the presence of meaning and 4.34 out of 7 on the search for meaning. During the conclave itself and on the first day of the post-conclave phase (the day Pope Leo XIV was announced), neither dimension showed a notable shift from baseline, possibly because not all participants had heard the news before completing that first evening survey. Starting the day after the election, however, the presence of meaning rose above the pre-conclave baseline and stayed elevated through the final day of tracking.
On the 7-point scale, daily presence-of-meaning scores increased by 0.14 to 0.20 points above the 5.16 baseline on every day from Day 2 through Day 10, except for Day 8, when a 0.09-point increase was not statistically significant. Standardized effect sizes during this period ranged from 0.09 to 0.14, which the authors describe as small to medium; in raw terms, the increases amounted to roughly 3 to 4 percent of the baseline score.
At the same time, participants reported a gradual decline in their search for meaning, with statistically significant drops on Days 2, 7, 9, and 10. Compared to the 4.34 baseline, search-for-meaning scores fell by 0.23 points on Day 7, 0.34 points on Day 9, and 0.30 points on Day 10, with standardized effect sizes reaching -0.19 on Day 9 and -0.17 on Day 10. This pattern suggests that participants felt more settled in their sense of purpose and less driven to look for missing meaning.
These shifts held after the researchers accounted for age, gender, religious commitment, and feelings about the pope’s nationality. On average, participants viewed the pope’s American nationality positively (averaging 2.03 on the -4 to +4 scale), and those more active in church communities tended to feel warmer about it. However, the analysis adjusted for these factors rather than testing whether the post-election boost was larger or smaller for particular groups, so it cannot show whether less devout Catholics, or those less enthusiastic about an American pope, experienced the same shift.
The authors noted that their findings are compatible with all three psychological frameworks they examined. They suggest that emotional contagion from widespread media coverage may have contributed, and that because media excitement typically fades, the persistence of the effect, with the drop in searching for meaning strongest on Days 9 and 10, points to deeper social identity and meaning-making processes as well. They also acknowledge, however, that emotional contagion can sometimes last several days, so the line between these explanations is not sharp.
There are a few things to keep in mind when interpreting these findings. The study does not appear to have been preregistered. Because it began just four days before the conclave, after the death of Pope Francis had already occurred, there is no way to know what the participants’ sense of meaning looked like before the papal vacancy began. The post-election increase in meaning might represent a genuine rise above their typical everyday levels, or a rebound back to normal after a temporary dip caused by the previous pope’s death.
In addition, the tracking period ended 10 days after the election, leaving open the question of how long the heightened sense of purpose lasted before leveling off. The study also focused solely on Roman Catholics in the United States and had no comparison group tracked over the same days, so it cannot rule out that scores would have drifted for other reasons, such as participants growing accustomed to answering the same questions each evening.
Because the new pope’s American nationality became known at the same moment as his election, the study also cannot fully separate a religious response from a patriotic one. Including people from other religious backgrounds exposed to the same news coverage would help future researchers separate media-driven emotional contagion from the spiritual effects of welcoming a new religious leader.
The study, “The election of Pope Leo XIV and its impact on the meaning of life for Roman Catholic Christians: A longitudinal experience sampling method study in the USA before, during, and after the pope’s election,” was authored by Stefan Stieger, Selina Volsa, and David Willinger.
