Distant Street Lights/Fractures (2007)Distant Street Lights / Fractures (2007)

Release Date: 28 August 2007
Label: Erased Tapes
Format: LTD 7” White Vinyl/Digital Download

‘With their blissful brand of post-rock, this quintet will warm many a jaded soul.’ The Best New Music– Rock Sound

‘Distant Street Lights screams the word ‘Ambition!’ with every subtly-crafted chord. Fractures is possibly the most gripping piece of music you’ll hear this year, almost like the final chapter from a Jack Arnott novel.’ (8/10) Single of the Week – Drowned In Sound

‘Featured track On The Radar.’ – Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1

‘Joyful, uplifting riffs that ring out jubilantly. There’s no denying that it is evocative music. The soundtrack to some glorious time-lapse cinema.’ – In It For The Money Zine

‘I’m running out of excuses to explain rather lackluster releases from recent powerhouses as Mono, Explosions In The Sky and Do Make Say Think. If they weren’t already wrapped up in their own music, they’d probably know better. Codes In The Clouds does.’ – The Silent Ballet

‘Upon hearing Distant Street Lights I was drawn in like the proverbial moth to the flame, while Fractures fuelled my appetite for more, it’s an album we really want.’ Rising Stars – The Silent Ballet

 Format: CD/Digital Download

‘This Kent-based quintet find themselves on the cusp of what looks to be a very promising career!’ Ones To Watch in 2009 – ROCK SOUND

‘A perfectly presented first statement of their intentions… sending jolts from shoulders to fingertips.’ (8/10) – CLASH

‘At times crestfallen and regretful, at others furious and passionate, this album is a synergy between exceptional percussion and dizzying whirlpools of guitar riffs.’
(4/5) – NARC

‘When a debut album like this comes along you know that it is an important moment in music when you hear it, and it only took them five days to record.’ (9/10) – DROP-D (IE)

’ It goes to confirm that, in the right hands, post-rock works like a dentist, extracting bicuspids of bloody emotion from the mouths of people with weak spots.’ – COKEMACHINEGLOW (US)

‘Their music brings the sonic deluge associated with their genre, kidney-punching you with crescendos that leave you in surgery, coupled with the fragile stitching of clean guitar lines that help you recuperate. Codes does show they are capable of more surprising melody-making, particularly in the star-charting patience of “The Distance Between Us”’ Track Of The Week – THE SILENT BALLET (US)
