Floating Points - Elaenia (10 Year Anniversary Vinyl)

Floating Points - Elaenia (10 Year Anniversary Vinyl)

Dinked edition Oxblood coloured vinyl LP on Pluto Records. Remastered audio, with bonus track and booklet. Limited pressing of 700 copies, including 7 x original “harmonograph” postcards created by Floating Points.

When a Studer A80 tape machine arrived at his doorstep and couldn’t fit through the door, Floating Points (aka Sam Shepherd) took it as the spark to begin building the studio that would shape his debut album Elaenia. Moving beyond laptop-based production, Shepherd spent five years constructing the record while DJing around the world and completing a PhD in neuroscience.

The result is an ambitious and deeply personal work, drawing on classical, jazz, electronic, soul and Brazilian popular music. Named after a bird, Elaenia captures the expansive, boundary-pushing vision that positioned Floating Points as one of the most adventurous voices in contemporary music.
