A masterfully curated 75-minute journey through crepuscular jazz, ambient drones, and global soul, designed for the quietest hours of the night.

Floating Points' entry into the Late Night Tales series is less of a DJ set and more of a sonic seance. Sam Shepherd avoids the typical club-adjacent selections of his peers, instead opting for a ruminative, crepuscular journey that feels like a map of his own musical DNA. The album moves with an unhurried grace, blending the dusty warmth of 1970s spiritual jazz with the crystalline precision of modern ambient electronics. It is a record that rewards deep, focused listening, where the silence between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves.
