In June, Sleep returned with the announcement of a new lineup and 2026 tour dates, along with the release of a new song called "Have Spacesuit Will Travel" and a comic book. Now, it's album time. Hempispheres, the followup to 2018's The Sciences, arrives this fall, and the new single "The Morrisist" is out today.
As previously revealed, the band now has their original singer, bassist, and lead songwriter Al Cisneros joined by Melvins drummer Dale Crover and Void guitarist Bubba Dupree. About it, Cisneros said, "The vibe of the first jam was obvious. It was blue sunglasses-era Iommi in the quality, and equally awesome is Bubba is also one of the coolest people I've been able to make music with."
Hempispheres was recorded at the Melvins' studio with longtime engineer Toshi Kasai. It's out Sept. 3 digitally and Oct. 30 physically. "Have Spacesuit Will Travel" is the opening track, followed by today's "The Morrisist." Check it out below.
