The legendary SLEEP have returned with the new track “Have Spacesuit Will Travel,” marking the first new music released under the band’s name in quite some time.

The song features Al Cisneros on vocals and bass, Dale Crover (MELVINS) on drums, and Bubba Dupree (VOID) on guitar. Staying true to the cosmic aesthetic that has long linked the band to the stoner and doom scenes, the track ventures into more hypnotic and psychedelic territory, with Cisneros’ presence felt strongly throughout.

At the same time, the release has already sparked discussion among fans regarding the band’s lineup and the absence of Matt Pike from this particular recording. Regardless, every new move by SLEEP is an event for the heavy underground community, and “Have Spacesuit Will Travel” is certainly no exception.
