Les Cavaliers by The Offline

Returning with his first single of 2024, The Offline continues to brew his signature blend of sunny, cinematic soul on his new offering ‘Les Cavaliers’. The track follows the critical and commercial success of his debut album ‘La couleur de la mer’, which drew widespread support from tastemakers including Somewhere Soul, BBCR6’s Huey Morgan, and Jazz FM’s Tony Minvielle.

Again channelling the spirit of film composers from the 1960s and 70s like Brian Bennet & David Axelrod, ‘Les Cavaliers’ reunites the colourful cast of musical characters found on ‘La couleur de la mer’, including Chris Hill (Drums), Hans-Christian Stephan (Flugelhorn) and Kimo Eiserbeck (Flute). A continuation of The Offline’s ongoing homage to surf spots in the south of France, the playful tune captures the warm summer breeze, the taste of salt in the air, and the laid-back atmosphere that so often comes with the sun beating down on a glorious coastal day. On the track, The Offline shares:

“Les Cavaliers pays tribute to the Aquitaine region of France, which has been a big influence on my music. The track came about a few days after my debut album was released, capturing a moment of relief to turn the page on one chapter, yet anticipation of what will come.”

The Offline is a modern version of TV and film music from the 60s and 70s with an analogue feel, reminiscent of those old funk and jazz albums hip-hop artists used to sample.

In these times of endless sonic possibilities streaming out your computer 24/7 comes the idea of putting away the screen and going back to the beginning.
