"Abiogenesis" Blue/Green Vinyl
Promises is an extraordinary, collaborative album by the electronic giant Floating Points and saxophone titan Pharoah Sanders. The album features the London Symphony Orchestra and cover art by the acclaimed American artist, Julie Mehretu. The album is composed and engineered by Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points, whose second album Crush earned Best New Music from Pitchfork and a major feature in the New York Times, and placed him on several 2019 critics lists. His debut album Elaenia, released by Luaka Bop, was another Best New Music pick and hailed as one of the best debuts of the decade. It is also the release that made Pharoah Sanders want to work with him in the first place.
A restless, ever- evolving producer and composer, Shepherd has toured with the xx and also holds a doctorate in neuroscience. The music unfurls, patiently, over nine movements, and 46 ever undulating minutes. It’s a work of pure feeling, like no other record you’ll hear this or any other year.
