Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, The London Symphony Orchestra

One of the best records of 2021 is back. Now updated with a sturdy, hearty, robust, diecutless cover. The die cut on the original cover was causing problems in the manufacturing process. Treasure the ones you have.

Promises is a critically acclaimed 2021 collaborative studio album by British electronic musician Floating Points (Sam Shepherd), American jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, and the London Symphony Orchestra. It consists of a single, continuous 46-minute composition, divided into nine movements, that blends jazz, electronic music, and classical elements around a repeating seven-note motif.
