Sam Shepherd is a DJ, producer, multi-instrumentalist and neuroscientist. Or more simply: an overachiever. In the course of his career recording and performing as Floating Points he's established a reputation for innovation, and is known alongside contemporaries like Caribou and Four Tet as a leader in the modern dance realm. "Elaenia" is Floating Points' debut album, a suite of songs that display Sam's fascination with jazz and modern classical as much as his love of electronic and club music. The compositions are intricate, emotive, dynamic; sequenced to be enjoyed as individual movements or an entire set with a sweeping trajectory.
