Sleep announced their new album, Hempispheres, due out on September 3rd in digital format through Third Man Records. The physical editions will be available starting October 30th. This is the band's first record without Matt Pike, as Bubba Dupree (Void, Brant Bjork & the Low Desert Punk Band, 3rd Secret) has taken over the guitar duties, alongside founding member Al Cisneros and Dale Crover (Melvins, Shrinebuilder) on drums.
A second single was revealed with the album announcement too. Listen to ''The Morrisist'' below:
In conjunction with the album’s release Cisneros, presents the first issue of the Sleep Comic Book, his authorial debut for Third Man Books. Illustrated by Dave Kloc and Arik Roper, Issue #1 begins the saga of The Marijuanaut. An adventure which takes the reader to Planet Iommia, encounters with The Weedian, and introduces the traveller to Iommia’s deeper reverential practices, all this and more that resonates within the universe that Cisneros's lyrics created from the riff-filled lands of Sleep’s discography. The Sleep Comic Book is available as a standard edition, stand alone comic and a very special, signed limited edition bundle including comic, full cover poster, signed bookplate, designed rolling papers, and a flexidisc of “Have Spacesuit Will Travel.”
Tracklist:
1. Have Spacesuit Will Travel
