Markus Floats - Fourth Album - Art Edition Vinyl

The Montreal-based avant-garde electronic composer/producer follows up his acclaimed 'Third Album', rallying players from local improv group Egyptian Cotton Arkestra to add new electroacoustic materiality to his abstract soul. The follow-up to his acclaimed Constellation debut 'Third Album', released in lockdown spring 2020, Markus Floats returns with 'Fourth Album', pushing the Montreal-based artist's distinct abstract electronic compositions into newly evocative terrain (while preserving his record-titling literalism). Faced with another couple of years spent unexpectedly, though not unfamiliarly, secluded and studio-bound, working on both paintings and music, Floats emerged by the end of 2022 with a set of tracks 'about 60% finished' and a determined desire to throw off the shackles of distancing and isolation. 'I had always thought about Markus Floats as a solo project but I am wrong about that. 'Fourth Album' is about asking for help, inviting in, and making a home. It's about trust, exploration, and the effort of letting go'.
