Codeine is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Idaho, Valium Aggelein, Helvetia, The For Carnation and Duster. Those roots explain a lot about how Codeine arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Bedhead, Bluetile Lounge, Seam, Tram and Red House Painters, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Idaho, The New Year, Red House Painters, American Football and Whirl, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 46 connections around Codeine, reaching back through Idaho and forward to Idaho.

Background
Codeine is an American indie rock band formed in 1989 in New York City. They released two full-length albums—Frigid Stars LP in 1990 and The White Birch in 1994. Although the group broke up in 1994 shortly after the release of The White Birch, their subdued and melancholic style helped pioneer the then-nascent slowcore subgenre of indie rock. Codeine has since reunited on two occasions: the first for a handful of shows in 2012, and a second time for a series of shows in New York City and Los Angeles in 2023.
