Offline - La Couleur de la Mer LP ( VINYL )

Following his debut EP 'En clair-obscur' and a series of singles earlier this year cementing his place as a rising name in the world of cinematic soul and funk, Hamburg's finest cinematic soul artist The Offline releases 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, creating his own soundtrack on 'La couleur de la mer'. Inducing images of manorial, fog-swept villas at the sea's edge, silhouetted sailing boats and cigar-chomping villains attempting to thwart the mission of an imaginary hero, the record is a masterfully composed sonic journey. Experimenting with themes and atypical song structures, the music moves from dramatic cues to fragile romanticism. It incorporates psychedelic spaciness, retro soul and hip-hop sensibilities informed by The Offline's extensive record collection and crate-digger status.
