Cranes - Self Non-Self (Expanded Edition) - Crystal Clear Color Vinyl LP 180g Import
Cranes' Self Non-Self is the Southampton duo's 1989 debut — a haunting, beautiful record that emerged from the same post-punk underground as Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance but carved out its own singular space. Alison Shaw's childlike, ethereal voice floats over Mark Shaw's swirling guitars and programmed rhythms, creating an atmosphere that's simultaneously fragile and unsettling, like a lullaby heard through a wall of static.
"Joy Lies Within" and "Heaven or Bliss" shimmer with ghostly beauty, "Focus Breathe" pulses with dark, motorik energy, and "Fuse" collapses into gorgeous noise. This expanded edition adds two bonus tracks — "Reach" (Live) and "Nothing in the Middle, Nothing at the End" — and is pressed on 180-gram crystal clear audiophile vinyl, limited to 500 numbered copies worldwide. A rare and essential piece of late-'80s dark dream pop, back in print.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
Hold up… what were we saying?
