Floating Points has a new single ‘LesAlpx’ / ‘Coorabell’
Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points is back with some new music, his first release since his Late Nite Tales compilation earlier this year and first original release since the brilliant ‘Ratio’ in 2017.
‘LesAlpx’ and ‘Coorabell’ are both released on July 12th on 12″ Vinyl and the A-side ‘LesAlpx’ is up for listening and is a swirling gurning synth and percussive workout echoing the density of ‘Ratio’.
Speaking of the track Shepherd says:
“”I started going back to my early records and all the sounds I loved playing at clubs like Fabric and Plastic People. I wanted to capture the immediacy of that music and the feeling that I got when I was on the dancefloor, of being immersed in a track that pulls you along instantly. I actually made these tracks quite quickly, which helped to get rid of any desire to overthink the music – it’s essentially the sound of me having loads of fun with the machines in my studio and going back to basics.”
