Prolific Hamburg-based composer The Offline returns, inviting listeners to join the cast of his ever-growing Mediterranean Cinematic Universe with new single ‘Les Amis’. The single is the second taster of his forthcoming ‘Les Cigales’ EP, building upon the library-nodding, instrumental hip-hop blend explored on his acclaimed 2023 debut ‘La couleur de la mer’.

Following lead single ‘Fumée’, which established the story of two people on the search for each other, ‘Les Amis’ develops the narrative of ‘Les Cigales’ further, with a romantic theme and scene set by breezy guitar tones and vibraphone embellishments, all held down with a hip-hop shuffle. The track frames growing intimacy between two friends, before taking a tense turn, hinting that all may not be as it seems. Felix shares:

“Les Amis is about the relationship between two friends spending the summer on the Mediterranean. The musical theme, played by a guitar, tells of the intimacy and closeness of the two friends, which develops over the course of the track and changes into tension and an uncertain foreboding towards the end with the use of the wind instruments.”Read less
