Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points has shared a new single, 'Del Oro', which is out now via Ninja Tune.
Following the crunchy, gnarled, all-out energy of last year's smash single 'Birth4000'; 'Del Oro' ebbs and flows, twinkling with vintage Floating Points nostalgia before pulling the rug and locking in to a head-down, dancefloor packing groove.
As with 'Birth4000', 'Del Oro''s artwork comes from Tokyo based artist Akiko Nakayama. Nakayama brings her painting to life using vibrant, brilliant liquids that combine and wash away, meant to represent the natural growth, change and life cycle of all things on earth. Nakayama worked alongside long-time Floating Points collaborators Hamill Industries to create the “Alive Painting” to accompany the track.
