Sleep Token’s newest single Caramel has earned the band their highest placement to this point within the UK charts.
The vastly emotional newest providing from their upcoming fourth album Even In Arcadia has landed within the present Official Singles Chart at a really spectacular Quantity 10, behind the likes of Alex Warren (Extraordinary), Chappell Roan (Pink Pony Membership), Ed Sheeran (Azizam) and Doechii (Nervousness).
Through the Official Charts, Sleep Token’s first Even In Arcadia single – the mind-bending Emergence – was their highest entry earlier than Caramel, coming in at Quantity 17 only a few weeks in the past. And as the charts crew themselves say, this can be a “watershed second for one of the vital thrilling (and mysterious) rock acts within the nation proper now”.
Caramel’s success is arguably all of the extra extraordinary given its powerfully sincere material, with Vessel singing about among the obvious negativities of Sleep Token’s rise: ‘I attempt to not discuss the way it’s tougher now / Can I get a mirror side-stage? / Wanting sideways at my very own visage, gettin’ worse / Each time they attempt to shout my actual title simply to get an increase from me / Appearing like I’m by no means wired by the rumour…’
Each Caramel and Emergence are taken from Sleep Token’s new album Even In Arcadia – the follow-up to 2023’s Take Me Again To Eden – which is due out on Might 9 through RCA Data.
