- Musician reacts to "Telomeres" by Sleep Token.
Genuinely listening to this song for the very first time.
No pressing pause.

Please do add a comment recommending another song/artist for me to checkout in future! Always on the lookout for great new music.

I always enjoy seeing people react to Sleep Token for the first time 😸 I hope to recapture that myself because man, I wish I could hear them for the first time again
Ah yes, favorite from the new album. I was so happy to hear Vessel’s vocal approach in this one and to hear where they went musically especially hearing their first guitar solo ever. So good
Ooh, interesting shout. Have they really not had a guitar solo before? I can’t think of any now that you mention it… interesting!
Telomeres are the portion of DNA on the ends of the chromosome formation. This is the part that is most susceptible to degradation. Another example of Sleep Token's genious.
This is great knowledge. Thanks for sharing!
Makes sense with Alkaline and lyrics within it.
Love their science-y references!
Thank you for pointing out the bass line in this track. I get so caught up in Vessel’s vocals and the incredible drum work that I get distracted from the rest of the amazing instrumentals.
Happy to help! =)
with sundownign and this album it feels like each album had that one song that stands out as a strong deftones homage. with sundowning it was definitely Gods and with this album it was definitely this song.
Good shout
This one is my favorite at the moment. Epic and beautiful, and I love the Deftones vibes!
You nailed it. I’m a diehard Deftones fan and am now hooked on Sleep Token for this reason.
Great review! This is my fave track on the album! So full at the end 🥰
Thanks for taking a moment to comment and say so! Much appreciated.
Go listen to the Deftone's "When Girls Telephone Boys" and then listen to Sleep Token's "Gods" off of their first album... once you hear the influence it starts popping up all over the place. There are quite a few bands coming out that point to the Deftones as big influences (like Spiritbox) and I'm 100% here for it!
But the evolution is so interesting... Sleep Token has definitely made something super unique with Sundowning and TPWBYT, as has Spiritbox with their earlier EPs and latest album Eternal Blue.
100%
Absolutely LOVE the drums on this song.
This song has a Loathe vibe to my ears, which doesn’t surprise me because George Lever mixes both bands music. Also all the double stops in the solo sound very Hendrix-y… definitely one of my favorite tracks on an outstanding album
Yes, Loathe is a good shout here.
I loved this song because how much it felt like loathe lol
EDUCATION STATION: A telomere is a region of repetitive DNA sequences at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes from becoming frayed or tangled. Each time a cell divides, the telomeres become slightly shorter. Eventually, they become so short that the cell can no longer divide successfully, and the cell dies.
Speaking of Deftones and Chino .... does anyone here remember "Team Sleep?" Chino's side project. They sound just like Team Sleep.
I honestly feel like it sounds like homage to H.I.M
This song along with bands like deftones and loathe incorporate maj7 chords in their music, which have a sort of melancholy and somber feeling.
Interesting watching these. I was sure you were going to say delicious!!!!
Heheh yeah this was a long time ago now!
Teel-oh-mee-ers

This song kinda reminds me of sex tape by Deftones
but you didn't react to my 2 favourite songs. also check out Chelsea Wolfe and Dir en Grey
on this album
I actually reacted to all the songs on the album but the publisher has since blocked some of the videos for copyright reasons. Tis a shame.

Steve, how about just saying that was a great song from a great band making great music. Research Blacklit Canopy. Vessel may very well be Leo Faulkner from this Duo group from London. I get the marketing genius behind Sleep Token but come on...they have to reveal themselves. What if they are a very established band already, that decided to do something completely different????
Oh yeah, I went down that rabbit hole recently. I’m confident that’s the real Vessel. But I respect their decision not to confirm anything and stay true to their anonymous intentions. It’s their art, they can do what they like.
Ah man, not cool. It’s one thing if people just like us are curious enough to go looking, fine. The info is out there. Just don’t go ruining it for everyone else. I also respect their reasons to want to be anonymous.
