Crush
“After a decade of Floating Points, and a restless evolution of styles that’s made Sam Shepherd’s work such an intangible touchpoint, Crush might not represent a producer coming full circle but there’s a propulsion to this set of tracks that has him focused on the dancefloor. As Floating Points’ sound has evolved, so has the clamour to return to the roots of early tracks like the ‘Nuits Sonores’ a”
Kuiper
“Kuiper finetunes Floating Points' spellbinding blend of electronica and cosmos-navigating noodling”
Elaenia
“The full-length debut from Sam Shepherd (aka Floating Points) is as warm and fluid an "electronic" album as you will hear all year, and it has a timeless feel: There's no reason it could not have been written and recorded 10, 20, or even 30 years ago.”
Crush
“After a run of dates playing “obtuse, strange” music as a warm-up act for the xx, Sam Shepherd translates that experimental energy to an album of mischievous, melodic, stripped-down electronic music.”

Cascade
“Three years after exploring new dimensions in ambient jazz alongside Pharoah Sanders, Sam Shepherd refocuses his efforts on the dancefloor, with dazzling results.”
