At times brooding, at others fragrant and outgoing, Coleman's musicality is matched by a desire to fully express himself, to get his emotions down on tape.” “Definitely an artist to watch” – Clash Magazine

“timeless, a distant collection of songs that span genres, from blissful folktronica to exploding synth-pop to groove-heavy indie rock… centred around Coleman’s laconic drawl.” – Line Of Best Fit

Forthcoming on the new Naarm-based label Beloved Recordings, 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.

A staple of the Naarm/Melbourne music community, Lewis Coleman makes music that is “heady, bewitching, and ultimately immersive” (Clash Magazine). Don’t miss out on this album celebration!
