The Opiates

The Opiates cover art

Spearheaded by Thomas Feiner, this exquisitely sad Swedish release functions as a masterpiece of orchestral slowcore. 'The Opiates' was originally released in 2001 to minimal fanfare but gained legendary cult status years later, celebrated for its sweeping string sections, deeply poetic lyricism, and Feiner's resonant, mournful baritone.
