Floating Points shares “Last Bloom,” confirms new album details

Floating Points will release new album Crush on October 18, via Ninja Tune. The producer, a.k.a. Sam Shepherd, has trailed the album with new song "Last Bloom," which is streaming below with a video directed by Hamill Industries.

Crush is the first Floating Points album since 2017's Reflections – Mojave Desert. A statement confirms the album was made during a five-week period when Shepherd was supporting The xx in 2017. Those support slots involved him improvising "some of the most obtuse and aggressive music I've ever made, in front of
20,000 people every night," he said. "It was liberating."
