Sleep Launches „420-Hour Song“ to Be Played Once from Satellite Orbiting Mars
🌌 Sleep Launches „420 Hour Song“ to Be Played Once from Satellite Orbiting Mars
June 15, 2025 By: Riff Observatory Journal
Legendary stoner doom trio Sleep has unveiled their most cosmic project yet: a single continuous 420 hour-long song titled “Dopesmoke II: The Galactic Bongrip.” The catch? It will only ever be played once, from a solar powered satellite placed in orbit around Mars.
“We wanted to create something so massive, so slow, it couldn’t be confined by Earth’s time signatures,” guitarist Matt Pike explained through a thick cloud of… inspiration.
The song was recorded over three years using analog equipment submerged in resin to slow tape degradation. The resulting sound reportedly contains:
Sub-bass frequencies below human hearing,
Riff cycles lasting over 45 minutes each,
And guest contributions from the last known didgeridoo player on Neptune (citation pending).
The satellite, affectionately named “Ganja One,” is programmed to:
Wake up only on April 20th, 2069, during Martian dusk,
Broadcast the track into the Martian atmosphere,
Then self-destruct in a puff of purple smoke (simulated, of course).
Fans will be able to „listen“ in real-time via a slow drip livestream featuring AI generated visuals based on lava lamp patterns and cosmic dust data.
NASA officials reportedly gave the green light, stating:
“We can neither confirm nor deny the scientific value, but the vibe is immaculate.”
