The follow-up to his acclaimed Constellation debut 'Third Album' released in lockdown spring 2020, Markus Floats returns with 'Fourth Album', pushing the Montréal-based artist's distinct abstract electronic compositions into newly evocative terrain. Sharing his in-progress recordings with a trio of close friends and collaborators from the powerhouse free music ensemble Egyptian Cotton Arkestra, each of these players then spent a day improvising to the tracks in the studio. With violin by Ari Swan, saxophone and mbira by James Goddard, and guitar and drums by Lucas Huang, Floats stitched their extemporized instruments back into his compositional process. The result is a fluid, lustrous, dynamic expansion of his sound and structure that continues to strike the ineffable balance of abstraction and soulfulness rightly highlighted and celebrated in the critical response to 'Third Album'.
