"Cascade" is the eagerly anticipated follow-up from Floating Points, set to hit the shelves on September 13, 2024, via the esteemed Ninja Tune label. This eight-track journey is a testament to Sam Shepherd's evolution as an artist, pushing the boundaries of his signature IDM and Gnawa fusion into uncharted territories. Each of the eight tracks is allowed to breathe and develop, with some pieces stretching up to eight minutes, creating an immersive and captivating experience.
The album is a continuation of the sonic exploration heard on his 2019 release "Crush," but "Cascade" is a more unified and straightforward affair, designed to ignite dancefloors. The tracks, including standouts like "Vocoder [Club Mix]," "Birth4000," and "Ablaze," showcase Floating Points' knack for crafting intricate, rhythmic soundscapes that are as engaging as they are danceable. The album's title track, "Cascade," is a highlight, pushing Floating Points' sound into new, exhilarating places.
"Cascade" is available on black vinyl and a limited edition "Universal Sparkle" 2LP, catering to both casual listeners and dedicated collectors. Whether you're a long-time fan of Floating Points or a newcomer to his unique blend of electronic music, "Cascade" promises to be a thrilling addition to your collection.
