Floating Points – aka Sam Shepherd – has so many guises it’s certainly not easy to pin him down. There’s the composer whose 2015 debut album Elaenia was met with rave reviews – including Pitchfork’s Best New Music and Resident Advisor’s Album of the Year – and took him from dancefloors to festival stages worldwide. The curator, whose records have brought soulful new sounds into the club and, on his esteemed imprint Melodies International, reinstated old ones. The classicist, the disco guy that makes machine music, the digger always searching for untapped gems to rerelease.
Floating Points’ first album in four years, Crush, twists whatever you think you know about him on its head once again. It’s the producer at his most “unhinged,” he says, a tempestuous blast of electronic experimentalism whose title alludes to the pressure-cooker of the current environment we find ourselves in. It’s the sound of the many sides of Floating Points finally fusing together.

I've made a new album, and it will be released on 28th August via DG Classics. It's a symphony for 80 musicians reflecting on the myth of Pandora, and here's the first single from it, a duet for harp and therevox. Over the past few years my friend Miriam Adefris has been teaching me how to write for harp, and here she plays with me on Her Gift. Physical Pre-orders of the full album available now Via Bandcamp etc.
