Sleep announces its next album, titled Hempispheres, marking the band’s first full-length release in about eight years. The album follows 2018’s The Sciences. Alongside the announcement, Sleep releases “The Morrisist” as a new single, which serves as a preview of the forthcoming record.
The reported release plans place Hempispheres in the fall, with one outlet specifying a digital release on September 3 and a physical release on October 30. Earlier updates in June include the band’s return with a new lineup and announced 2026 tour dates, plus additional releases such as the single “Have Spacesuit Will Travel” and a comic book.
Taken together, the coverage shows Sleep expanding its 2026 rollout through both recorded and supplementary materials. Across the reports, the album title Hempispheres and the existence of “The Morrisist” as the latest single are consistent, with differences mainly in the exact release dates and distribution timing.
