FLOATING POINTS CAPTIVATES WITH ALBUM REVEAL AND ENCHANTING NEW SINGLE “KEY103”
Floating Points, the visionary electronic music producer, is set to release his new album, Cascade, a continuation of his musical journey that was interrupted by the pandemic. This announcement follows his acclaimed 2019 album, Crush, which was poised to dominate dance floors worldwide before the global halt to live performances. Now, Floating Points is back to pick up where he left off, with Cascade leading the charge this fall, spearheaded by the mesmerizing lead single, “Key103“.
“Key103” is a sonic odyssey that unfolds in three distinct acts. The track begins with metallic, shimmering synths that dance like light on water, creating a serene and ethereal atmosphere. Just as listeners are lulled into a state of euphoria, the song takes a dramatic turn, plunging into a dynamic blend of churning basslines, distorted tones, and arpeggiated synths. This whirlpool of rhythm and sound showcases Floating Points’ masterful ability to weave complex, immersive soundscapes that captivate and transport the listener.
Accompanying the release of “Key103” is a breathtaking “Alive Painting” video by Tokyo-based artist Akiko Nakayama. Her visuals perfectly complement the track’s dynamism, capturing its fluidity and shifting tones through a mesmerizing blend of colors and movements. Nakayama’s work brings the music to life, creating a visual experience that mirrors the song’s evolving energy and rhythm.
Released via Ninja Tune, “Key103” is the first glimpse into Cascade, an album that promises to fuse Floating Points’ deep-rooted connection to club culture with his penchant for expansive, experimental music. This new project is a testament to his ability to transcend traditional genre boundaries, crafting music that is both innovative and deeply resonant.
Cascade is poised to be a significant release, building on the momentum of Crush and offering fans a rich, multi-layered listening experience. Floating Points’ unique blend of electronic, ambient, and experimental sounds continues to push the envelope, creating music that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally engaging.
Fans can expect Cascade to drop on September 13th, marking a much-anticipated return for Floating Points. As the world begins to reopen and live performances resume, his music is set to reignite dance floors and captivate audiences once again. With Cascade, Floating Points reaffirms his status as a leading force in electronic music, delivering a project that is both a continuation of his past work and a bold step into new creative territory.
Stay tuned for more updates and prepare to immerse yourself in the sonic landscapes of Cascade, an album that promises to be one of Floating Points’ most compelling releases to date.
