Frigid Stars LP is the debut album by New York
indie rock band
Codeine. It was released in August 1990 on
Glitterhouse in Europe and in Spring 1991 on
Sub Pop in the US. The album was released to generally positive reviews and is regarded as being one of the pioneering albums in the slowcore and
sadcore genres. It was chosen by
Pitchfork in 2008 as one of the 20 best Sub Pop albums. "New Year's" is a cover version of a track co-written by
Bitch Magnet singer Sooyoung Park. Park did not record the track himself until 1992, with new band
Seam. "Cave-In" has been covered by rock band
Cave In and appears on their compilation album
Anomalies, Vol. 1. The song title was the inspiration for their band name.
