Cascade Floating Points

Floating Points announces his forthcoming album, ‘Cascade’, out via Ninja Tune.

The songs 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.

A subtle homage to his hometown of Manchester ripples across ‘Cascade’. ‘Afflecks Palace’, an enveloping glide of harp melodies overtaken by otherworldly bleeps and beeps, is named after a Mancunian market described as an ‘emporium of eclecticism’.

Elsewhere, there’s ‘Key 103’, named after an underground
Manchester radio station a young Floating Points (aka Sam
Shepherd) would listen to religiously.

Almost a decade on since ‘Elaenia’, his revered debut album, the composer has discovered ways to thread his experiments outside of club music seamlessly into his music designed for the dancefloor. 

Available on limited 'indies' edition - 140g universal sparkle double vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, with landscape artwork print by Akiko Nakayama and digital download code included.

This album is released on September 13th 2024.
