Artery Oceans Vinyl LP

A cult cornerstone of Sheffield’s post‑punk underground, Oceans captures Artery at their most stark, atmospheric and rhythmically hypnotic. Originally emerging in the early 1980s, the mini‑album blends angular guitars, brooding basslines and icy, minimalist tension — a sound that would later influence artists across the UK alternative landscape.

This 2020 reissue brings the release back into circulation on 12" black vinyl, housed in a clean cardboard sleeve and presented sealed in mint condition. With its raw, high‑fidelity edge and unmistakable early‑’80s post‑punk aesthetic, this edition is essential for collectors of obscure alternative rock and cold‑wave‑leaning sounds.
