TEAM SLEEP, the side project of DEFTONES frontman Chino Moreno, will enter the Applehead Recording studio in Woodstock, New York this fall to begin work on its long-awaited sophomore album for a tentative early 2015 release.

TEAM SLEEP said in a statement: "For a long time, business people, logistics, careers, adulthood, families and the House Republicans have thwarted us, but we've continued to make music. At the same time, the creative process has become increasingly fragmented and dehumanized.

"With that in mind, we're very excited to get together with our dear friends, hang out, play music and have a unique experience in a beautiful place."

TEAM SLEEP is inviting fans to participate in some of the studio sessions for the album by offering a number of incentives, including a CD featuring previously unreleased music, a listening party to hear new material the band is working on, an in-studio experience with a question-and-answer session as the band works on and records new songs, and a live performance featuring new and old songs.

TEAM SLEEP's members include Moreno (vocals, guitar), Zach Hill of HELLA (drums), DJ Crook (turntables), Todd Wilkinson (guitar) and Rick Verrett (bass/keyboards).

TEAM SLEEP's self-titled debut album was released in May 2005 through Maverick Records.
