Floating Points - Cascade (2024)
Cascade marks Floating Points' return to more dancefloor-oriented sounds while still maintaining his signature attention to sonic detail. The album's high-energy tracks like "Afflecks Palace" and "Del Oro" are driven by heavy techno beats and arpeggiated synths, yet beneath this intensity lies intricate production that reveals subtle textures on closer listens. Shepherd’s skill in blending euphoric buildups with ambient interludes makes for a dynamic listening experience. While the album leans more towards straightforward dance tracks, tracks like "Tilt Shift" and "Ablaze" introduce elements of ambient drum'n'bass, offering moments of introspection(The Arts Desk)(Treble).
