Floating Points - Crush - [Vinyl]

Floating Points� first album in four years, Crush, twists whatever you think you know about him on its head again. It�s the producer at his most �unhinged,� he says, a tempestuous blast of electronic experimentalism whose title alludes to the pressure-cooker of the current environment we find ourselves in. At first the album might seem to suggest the idea of romantic longing but that�s actually a false sense of security. �To me, Crush evokes a slow violence,� says Shepherd, �like the crushing inevitability of self-serving political power-play, climate change, people and ideas being subdued - all these things that make us irate on a daily basis and feeling helpless to it.� As a result, Shepherd has made some of his heaviest, most deranged tracks yet, nodding to the UK bass scene he emerged from in the late 2000s, such as the dystopian low-end bounce of striking lead single LesAlpx. But there are also some of his most expressive songs on Crush: his signature melancholia is there in the album�s sublime mellower moments or in the Buchla synthesizer, whose eerie modulation haunts the album.
