Codex Universalis is more than an album — it’s a sonic manuscript. Each track is a page in a living book, fusing alternative rock, punk urgency, shoegaze dreamscapes, and raw narrative poetry.

From the icy vengeance of Cold Justice to the furious house-party chaos of Our House Now!, from the metallic haze of Glassmaker to the ghostly refrain of Empty Blocks, the album moves like a cycle: voices of workers, aviators, physicists, punks, and dreamers, all written into a single universal codex.

The coda arrives in Codex Universalis Omega — a final hymn where the Codex itself speaks, declaring its eternal presence as both archive and prophecy.

This is music for the streets, for the skies, for the erased and the unheard. A myth made of guitars, beats, and echoes.


Tracks:

Codex Universalis Alpha (0:58)
Opening invocation — a whispered prologue in sound, the Codex breathing to life.

Cold Justice (4:04)
A bleak anthem of vengeance and survival — the “sad penguin” fable transmuted into grinding riffs and stomping rhythm.

Glassmaker (3:49)
Industrial-tinged reflection on fragility, fracture, and the razor edge of broken beauty.

Ships (5:23)
A working man’s blues — shipyard chants and rust-laden guitars, labor unions and rain.

A Hunted Animal (3:32)
Korean War skyfire — a pilot dodging bullets, the photograph on the dash, mortality in flight.

Truth Proof (2:26)
Folk-punk urgency — the physicist’s lament, a song about erasure, persistence, and the hum of buried truths.

Bricks (3:04)
’77 Brooklyn street beat, graffiti and jazz ghosts — Dizzy Gillespie riffs in rap-infused cadence.

Our House Now! (5:22)
1979 LA punk house show riot — spray paint, smashed heirlooms, Crosstops and chaos.

Empty Blocks (5:50)
Shoegaze dream coda — reflections on silence, memory, echoes that refuse to die.

Codex Universalis Omega (2:17)
The Codex speaks — final hymn, closing the cycle, infinite and recursive.

As a musical brotherhood since 1995, Slightly Stoopid, led by the vastly versatile duo of Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald, has expanded its fusion of rock, reggae, acoustic soul, hip hop, heavy metal, and punk rock, and achieved artistic freedom and commercial success while subscribing to their own DIY ethos. In the process, the talented collective has grown both onstage - from their original trio to a seven-piece ensemble - and as the generational forebearer of an immensely growing subculture and lifestyle movement. 

Bound by their devotion to a musical agenda that relies on the spirit of collaboration and improvisation, and a social agenda that advocates for the freedom and legalization of marijuana, Slightly Stoopid’s musical melting pot continues to earn the respect of their mentors and peers, inspire countless young musicians, and delight millions of fans.
