Cascade

Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points will release his new album, 'Cascade', on 13 September.

While writing a score for a ballet he found himself longing for the sweaty communion of a dance floor. For the pulse-racing abandon of electronic music. And 'Cascade' is a result of that. A record forged in an adolescence spent in Manchester, discovering the mind-expanding (and emotion-purging) power of electronic music in all its forms. Though devised as a continuation of 2019's 'Crush', 'Cascade' nonetheless pushes Floating Points’ sound forward into new places. The nine 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 before.
