Sleep Token are one of 2023’s most talked-about and renowned bands, and it’s not looking like that is going to change anytime soon. Starting the year out by becoming a viral sensation and then experiencing the sort of growth that other bands can only dream about, the excitement for their upcoming new album Take Me Back To Eden has gone into hyperdrive.
Though based on the tracks that they continue to drop from it, you should always expect the unexpected. The latest is “DYWTYLM”, and is up there with their most delicate and poppy efforts to date. An intricate electronic instrumental ripples and cracks as vocalist Vessel delivers the sort of hook that belongs at the very top of the charts. It’s another example of just how far the musical universe that Sleep Token inhabits stretches and a firm reminder that incredible songwriting will always be at the centre of what they do.
Take Me Back To Eden is set for release on May 19 via Spinefarm Records.
You can also hear the extravagant “The Summoning” right now:
