SLEEP TOKEN ‘SUNDOWNING’ 2LP

VINYL RELEASE DATE: 11/22/2019
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 11/22/2019
VARIANT: Black Vinyl 2LP

While Sleep Token’s debut album had been preceded by a handful of intriguing singles, 2019’s somewhat ironically-titled Sundowning is what officially rose the masked-and-mysterious UK outfit’s profile in the global music scene. The band’s first full-length offering is a wildly unique affair steered by soaring-yet-vulnerable vocal performances from Vessel, which are complimented throughout by alternating waves of elegant piano work, hazy-and-hypnotic electronic beatscaping and progressively djent-quaked hooks galore. A dark and undeniably powerful sign of things to come.
