Sam ‘Floating Points‘ Shepherd has unveiled ‘King Bromeliad’ from a forthcoming 12″ on Eglo Records, the label he runs with Alex Nut.
The eight-minute-plus track (nearly as epic as last year’s 11-minute ‘Wires’) opens with party chatter and a muffled beat in the background, before dropping into an jazzy, eyes-down shuffle embellished with vibraphone squiggles of syrupy synths and vibraphone.
‘King Bromeliad’ will be joined by ‘Montparnasse’ on the 12″, due out “soon” on Eglo. It’s his first release since ‘Wires’, but he’s been keeping busy with some mammoth mix sessions lately – check out his five-hour soul mix with NY DJ Love On The Run and his four-hour set from Plastic People.
