Sleep Token Tops Charts With New Song ‘Caramel’

If you’re a Sleep Token fan, you know the band isn’t exactly in it for the attention. In fact, during one of the few interviews they’ve done, they explained their music is a form of devotion to and worship of the deity “Sleep.” Their identities, however, remain a well-kept secret.

Sleep Token fans will be pleased to learn that the band's new song "Caramel" has hit the charts, ranking higher than tracks by Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.

The song is a single from the band's upcoming album Even In Arcadia, which is set to drop on May 9.

The band's preference for anonymity is no barrier to their impact as musicians. In fact, their choice is part of their entire point, or perhaps, it's the punchline.

Those who are truly able to see Sleep Token and heed their message will be rewarded with a unique blend of musical styles and a deep exploration of the human condition.

Their preference for anonymity is part of what makes Sleep Token so intriguing. The band's music speaks for itself, and their lyrics are full of rich imagery and introspective reflections.

In the chorus of "Caramel," the lyrics beg listeners to respect the band's boundaries and focus on the music.

The lyrics to "Caramel" are a testament to the artists' struggles in the public eye.

"Every time they try to shout my real name just to get a rise from meActing like I'm never stressed out by the hearsayI guess that's what I get for trying to hide in the limelightGuess that's what I get for having 20/20 hindsightEverybody wants eyes on em, I just wanna hear you sing that top line."

The desire to know the faces of those beneath the masks seems a bit superficial, given that the band bares its soul through their music for all to dissect.

If you listen a little more intently, you'll realize Sleep Token is showing you exactly who they are—and has been all along.

You can listen to "Caramel" below. Even In Arcadia will be released on May 9.
