Desire can do strange things to us. In some cases, it renders us blind to people’s flaws, while making fools of others. We ignore red flags because the person attached to them makes us feel something close to ecstasy. Driven by euphoria, mysterious Sleep Token pull it into blissful darkness, culminating in ‘Alkaline’.
Pulled from upcoming second album This Place Will Become Your Tomb, due September 24th, ‘Alkaline’ has us ruminating in ominous etherealness.
“It’s too late for me now/ I am altered” seeps into the ears. Vessel’s vocals marinate in rueful desolation. Keyboards dance beneath the moroseness in bleak fashion. The otherwise beautiful notion of falling in love strands us within the fibres of the web we’ve become ensnared in.
Depth comes to ‘Alkaline’ in the form of swelling guitars. Blooming within the spiked warm glow, vocal harmonies here are lusciously heart breaking. While the vocals melt into the electronic beats, ‘Alkaline’ burns like acid as it creeps through our central nervous system. Sleep Token lights us aflame with the desire to be in a love which will undoubtedly break us in the end.
‘Alkaline’ is available now across all major streaming platforms. For the latest news from Sleep Token including new releases and tour dates, click here, for follow their social media linked below.
