Sam Shepherd, also known as Floating Points, has been involved in various musical projects recently. After collaborations with Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra on Promises in 2021, scoring a ballet, and working on an anime for Adult Swim, he is now focusing on a new solo album.
The upcoming album, Cascade, showcases Floating Points returning to their signature avant-garde club music style. The tracklist includes singles such as “Del Oro” and “Birth4000,” along with the fresh release, “Key103,” a seven-minute track named after a radio station in Manchester that Shepherd frequented.
Shepherd shared in a press release that his inspiration for the album stems from his experiences in Manchester and its iconic record shops, shaping his musical education outside of school.
