Team Sleep is an American experimental alternative rock group led by singer and guitarist Chino Moreno, better known as the frontman of the alternative metal band Deftones. Formed in the early 2000s, Team Sleep's music is a distinctive blend of dreamy atmospheric textures, electronic beats, and introspective lyrics, diverging significantly from Moreno's primary band's heavier sound. Team Sleep's lineup has included musicians such as guitarist Todd Wilkinson, turntablist DJ Crook, bassist Rick Verrett, drummer Zach Hill, and keyboardist Frank Delgado.

The band's self-titled debut album, "Team Sleep," was released in the U.S. in 2005 to critical acclaim, showcasing a divergence from conventional rock structures and featuring an array of ethereal soundscapes. The album included tracks such as "Ever (Foreign Flag)," a song that encapsulates the band's signature blend of haunting melodies and ambient electronics. After a period of dormancy and several side projects, Team Sleep reunited for a live recording session, which resulted in "Woodstock Sessions Vol. 4," released in 2015. This release captured the spontaneity of their sound, offering new material and reimagined versions of older songs, cementing their reputation as a cult favorite among fans of the genre.
