Floating Points has returned with a vibrant new track "Anasickmodular", the third single to be lifted from his forthcoming album Crush.

"Anasickmodular" follows on from earlier singles "Last Bloom" and "LesAlpx".

Speaking about the new song, Sam Shepherd, aka Floating Points, says, ""Anasickmodular" was a working title that stuck. The main pad audio and vocals are from a live improvisation at Dekmantel festival in 2017. At some point on the tour we were in Sydney and Anna (who is half of the Hamill Industries team responsible for the live laser/bubble oscilloscope projections) was ill so, on a off day, I started a new project bringing the modular out of its box, hence the title. The second half of the track was recorded live in situ and is a lot of fun to play live!"

His new album Crush will follow on from his 2015 album Elaenia.

Floating Points created Crush in the space of five weeks, compared to Elaenia, which was built over five years.

"Anasickmodular" is out now. Floating Points' new album Crush will arrive 18 October via Ninja Tune, and is available to pre-order now. Floating Points plays London's Printworks on 21 November. Find out more.
