Following a 20 year hiatus from releasing any recorded material, Adult Swim is back today to offer a new single from stoner-metal titans Sleep. The 10 minute opus “The Clarity” picks up right where the group’s classic 2003 LP Dopesmoker left off, sounding as heavy as ever and emerging from a plume of smoke. The song, along with a brief Q&A with the members of the band, is currently streaming via NPR and available for download now at adultswim.com/singles.
“‘The Clarity’ doesn’t miss a step. It captures Sleep at its heaviest and weediest.” – NPR
“10 minutes of mystical, slow-riffing awesomeness” – Stereogum
“”like many of the band’s best tracks…’The Clarity’ hearkens straight back to the drone-y, stone-y tunes that the band was working on when they were teenagers” – SPIN
“It’s like they never went away – riffage that would make Black Sabbath blush and enough marijuana references to keep you horizontal for the entire 10-minute duration.” – FACT
