Description

"Floating Points announces forthcoming album, Cascade via Ninja Tune. Cascade pushes Sam Shepherd’ sound forward into new places. The eight songs here are allowed to smoulder and spark for up to eight minutes at a time, allowing for more expansive exploration of sounds and grooves than ever before. Almost a decade on since Elaenia, his revered debut album, the composer has discovered new ways to thread his experiments outside of club music seamlessly into his music designed for the dancefloor. Shepherd released his rave-reviewed second studio album Crush in November 2019. Cascade was devised as a follow-on from Crush that would allow him (and audiences) to experience Floating Points in its traditional form on a dancefloor once more: bursting with Buchla rhythms, glitching melodies bewitching a room full of heaving bodies. 'It’s meant to be kind of a continuation', adds Shepherd. This explains Cascade’s artwork: another colourful sleeve, full of fluid imagery (created once more by Akiko Nakayama). It also explains its evocative title: like Crush, one word that implies movement, beauty and pressure. Most importantly, it explains its mesmerising sound: sumptuous sonic chasms to lose yourself in again and again." - Ninja Tune
