In 2020, amidst the uncertainty and isolationism of the pandemic, Sleep Token attempted to put together a set of Isolation Rituals in March of 2021. In the end, these rituals did not happen. Today’s post about the rituals featured a photo from their last Sundowning UK Tour ritual January 31 2020 and captured by Andy Ford. [FB]
Eight years ago today, Sleep Token released their first EP, titled “ONE”.
The tracklist:
There are two music videos for this EP, Thread the Needle [YT], released on September 8 2016 and Fields of Elation [YT] on November 10 2016
You can still purchase the digital album on their Bandcamp [LINK], which also includes three additional tracks. These tracks are piano versions of the original three and are breathtakingly beautiful.
In the year 2020, the collective posted this photograph along with the below caption.

‘Sundowning, or sundown syndrome, is a neurological phenomenon associated with increased confusion and restlessness in patients with delirium or some form of dementia. The term ‘sundowning’ was coined due to the timing of the patient’s confusion.
