Description
Electronic maestro Sam Shepherd returns with a breathtaking, club-focused masterpiece.
Following his critically acclaimed, orchestral collaboration Promises with Pharoah Sanders, Floating Points shifts gears back to the dancefloor with Cascade. Originally conceived as a continuation of his residency at the iconic Tokyo club Contact, this album is a brilliant, hyper-detailed exploration of electronic music that seamlessly links the energy of vintage UK garage, Detroit techno, and IDM.
Across eight expansive tracks, Shepherd delivers a masterclass in rhythm and synthesis. From the propulsive, interlocking synth lines of the lead single "Delatrin" to the deep, hypnotic grooves of "Key103," Cascade is designed to be experienced loud. The album also features a stellar lineup of collaborators, including subtle contributions from pop icon Utada Hikaru, Caribou (Dan Snaith), and Warpaint's Stella Mozgawa.
