Sleep - Hempispheres - Opaque Purple Color Vinyl Record
Sleep return with Hempispheres, their fifth studio album and first chapter of a new era, pressed here on the indie-exclusive opaque purple vinyl edition from Third Man Records.
Founding bassist, vocalist and songwriter Al Cisneros now leads a lineup with Dale Crover of the Melvins and Redd Kross on drums and Bubba Dupree of the hardcore pioneers Void on guitar. Rather than chase the crushing weight of 2018's The Sciences, the trio favors nuance and space, building long, hypnotic riffs that drift between doom, stoner metal and space rock.
The eleven-minute "Arrival of the Industry Ships" is a slow-motion launch into orbit, while "Have Spacesuit Will Travel" and "The Morrisist" show off the fresh chemistry between Crover's powerhouse drumming and Dupree's searching guitar. A bold new step for one of heavy music's most revered bands, and a must for any Sleep collection.

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.
