    "A lushly recorded work with all of the dark, caterwauling menace of the heavier end of 4AD's output - at times sounding like some unholy hybrid of the Pixies and This Moral Coil."
    The Active Listener

    ""The Only Truth Is Music" seems a brash declaration for the title of a band's debut album. But in this case though it fits perfectly. His Name Is Codeine have produced a complex, dynamic and ambitious record which is just as comfortable trawling the sleazy gutters as it is shooting for celestial highs." Peenko

    "Forsaking where you came from…no matter where that is, even if it caused you some troubles. His Name Is Codeine is here to tell you a story about that…" Sunrise Ocean Bender

    "A tonal trip that’s leading into a landscape of nightly psych rock and shoegaze, circulating somewhere between The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Velvet Underground and Spiritualized." Clank For Breakfast

lyrics

He found him in a desert land and in the howling waste
He lead him, he instructed him. You begged I'd do the same
Hide you in the shadow of my wings and keep you warm
Live and love my law and get no rest 'til you belonged

We did it all before the apple fell
We did it all before the apple fell

Blacken out your eyes and draw the curtains on your soul
Let your love spread far across the years you'll never know
Hang me on a pedestal no one would say I earned
And when they come to drag me down you'll be there standing firm

To say we did it all before the apple fell
We did it all before the apple fell

Let your tears run like a river day and night I'll get no rest....
