Promises is an extraordinary, collaborative album by the electronic giant Floating Points and saxophone titan Pharoah Sanders. The album features the London Symphony Orchestra and cover art by the acclaimed American artist, Julie Mehretu.
Five years in the making, it will be released on Luaka Bop, March 26, 2021.

The album is composed and engineered by Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points, who’s second album Crush earned Best New Music from Pitchfork and a major feature in the New York Times, and placed him on several 2019 critics lists. His debut album Elaenia, released by Luaka Bop, was another Best New Music pick and hailed as one of the best debuts of the decade. It is also the release that made Pharoah Sanders want to work with him in the first place. For Pharoah Sanders, who recently turned 80, this is a rare outing and his first album in 15 years.
