The eight songs here are allowed to smoulder and spark for up to eight minutes at a time, allowing for more expansive exploration of sounds and grooves than before. The album is a subtle homage to his hometown of Manchester ripples across Cascade. Afflecks Palace an enveloping glide of harp melodies overtaken by otherworldly bleeps and beeps, named after a Mancunian market described as an emporium of eclecticism. Elsewhere, theres Key 103, named after an underground Manchester radio station a young Sam Shepherd would listen to religiously. It's almost a decade on since Elaenia, his revered debut album, the composer hasdiscovered ways to thread his experiments outside of club music seamlessly into his music designed for the dancefloor.Recommended if you like Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Jon Hopkins, Caribou, DJ Koze
