Sam Sheperd aka Floating Points returns with a new 12″ soon and from it, ‘King Bromeliad’ features the shuffling boogie beat that he’s become known for. The near nine-minute tune is underpinned by a jazzy bass shuffle which unfolds with synth runs, chimes and flanger effects that recall the moments caught between the funk and jazz licks on original records.
