LEWIS COLEMAN - Offline

Out now on Naarm-based label Beloved Records, Lewis Coleman's latest offering Offline is a collection of songs
grounded in a desire to generate a current within stagnant and hopeless waters. It marks a significant departure
from Colemans previous, more brooding and introverted record Method of Places, and as he leans into a more
confident, outward facing aspect of himself, so too does Offline. It's music replete with playful arrangements and
kinetic opportunity and, as Coleman states, "songs that are hot, warm, saturated and fun".
Whether it's the lanky, dawdling guitar lines in the title track Offline to the propulsive drums and coiled, abstract
string phrasing of Your Future and Sandy, Offline undulates through Colemans idiosyncrasies and observations,
fluxing and unfurling through less familiar aspects of his identity in conspicuous and playful ways. In Coleman's
words, Offline "explores the fantasy worlds we, by paradox of technological separateness and closeness, build
around ourselves and the people we love, and the social architectures around sharing and selling our lives in this
landscape."
