Promises

Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders

2021

10

Such a beautiful, patient album. I love how each movement shares a common motif, giving Sanders plenty of room to breathe and put his mark all over the record. It'd be really tough to pinpoint a favorite "song" or moment since it's all meant to be so cohesive as a singular statement, but the whole album builds very naturally the nuance is present enough in each movement to make something about each kind of stand out. The album simply grows and grows, each movement better than the last.
