The New Sleep Album Hempishere (the first without Mike PIke)

Today we take a look at the latest release from the Bay area-based stoner metal band, Sleep: Hempishpere.

We walk through the lineup, featuring Al Cisneros on bass and vocals, alongside …Dale Crover on drums and Bubba Dupree on guitar. This is the first Sleep album that doesn’t include founding member Mike Pike.

We also discuss the music, which has divided Sleep fans. It’s quite different and branches out in new directions. We hear a lot of detailed work on the bass from Cisneros, and even the use of synthesizers including a Moog. We quite enjoyed it, and see cross-polination from Cisneros’ other project, Om.
