Floating Points - Cascade

Floating Points - Cascade

 ‘Cascade’ pushes Floating Points’ sound forward into new places.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 SamShepherd) would listen to religiously. 

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

 Sam will be supporting the album with a headline UK/EU tour later in2024 / 2025, plus Summer festival dates including We Out Here, LostVillage, All Points East, BBK, Fuji Rocks and ADE. 

 Floating Points has received career-long critical acclaim from every major publication across the world, including Pitchfork, The Guardian, New York Times, Evening Standard, Time Magazine, The Independent, The Quietus and many, many more. 

 Sam recently composed a score for ballet ‘Mere Mortals’, which debuted in San Francisco and New York. He has also written a score for Shinichirō Watanabe’s forthcoming anime series, ‘Lazarus’.
