Floating Points are resolving some unfinished business with the release of their new album, waterfall.
The announcement of her next album follows on the heels of her 2019 album. Smashan album that was set to dominate dance floors before the pandemic forced live performances to halt globally. Picking up where they left off, Floating Points is set to continue the saga this fall and leads the cycle with the project’s lead single, “Key103,” a full-blown sonic odyssey.
“Key103,” a song in three acts, begins with metallic, shimmering synths that dance like light on water. Just as we’re about to enter a euphoric episode, the song dives into a mix of churning basslines, distorted tones, and arpeggiated synths that create a swirl of rhythm and sound.
Accompanying “Key103” is a stunning video for “Alive Painting” by Tokyo-based artist Akiko Nakayama. Her visuals add to the song’s dynamism and aptly capture the flow of her music, mixing colors and movements that reflect her shifting tones.
Now available via Ninja Tune, “Key103” is the first to appear from waterfallwhich seeks to fuse Floating Points’ clubbing roots with his penchant for expansive, experimental music. Fans can expect the project to drop on September 13.
In the meantime, fans can pre-save waterfall here and check out the official music video for “Key103” below.
