Album Review: Floating Points - Elaenia

"Repeated listens open doors to strange new zones where space is revered and silence is an important instrument."

More Floating Points More Floating Points

After seven years in the game having amassed an attractive string of EPs, braindance whizkid Sam "Floating Points" Shepherd finally releases his debut album, and a bewitching little affair it is too.

Eerily minimal in places, it's not easy to get your head around at first. But repeated listens open doors to strange new zones where space is revered and silence is an important instrument. Given the next-level gorgeousness of Silhouettes (I, II & III), Shepherd may soon find himself enjoying similar success to that of his good friend Four Tet.
