Past Self - Sleep Token - MP3 instrumental karaoke

“Past Self” by Sleep Token appears as track three on their fourth studio album Even in Arcadia, released on 9 May 2025 via RCA Records. Sleep Token (led by Vessel and drummer II with production by Carl Bown) co-wrote the song, which runs just under 3 minutes 35 seconds. The style leans into airy synth-pop and drum-machine textures rather than the band’s heavier progressive metal roots, highlighted by melodic vocals and minimalist beats. Although “Past Self” did not reach the UK Singles Chart, it peaked at number 17 on the UK Audio Streaming Chart and gained traction on streaming services. The track’s lyrics reflect themes of personal change and letting go of former identity, delivered in an introspective tone over subtle harmonic shifts and sparse percussion. Production choices favor clean textures and emotional restraint, offering a contrast to Sleep Token’s more aggressive material. With its stripped‑down approach and pop sensibility, “Past Self” shows Sleep Token experimenting with songcraft that marries accessibility and depth.
