The Offline - La couleur de la mer (2024 repress)

Following his debut EP ‘En clair-obscur’ and a series of singles earlier this year cemenjng his place as a rising name in the world of cinemajc soul & funk, Hamburg’s finest cinemajc soul arjst ‘The Offline’ announces his debut album 'La couleur de la mer'.
Reminiscent of film scores from the 60s and 70s, The Offline worked with co- producer Tim Liztenberger to channel the influence of film composers such as Francois de Roubaix and Brian Bennet, creajng his own soundtrack on ‘La couleur de la mer’. Inducing images of manorial, fog-swept villas at the sea's edge, silhoueAed sailing boats and cigar-chomping villains aAempjng to thwart the mission of an imaginary hero, the record is a masterfully composed sonic journey. Experimenjng with themes and atypical song structures, the music moves from dramajc cues to fragile romanjcism. It incorporates psychedelic spaciness, retro soul and hip-hop sensibilijes informed by The Offline’s extensive record collecjon and crate-digger status.
