The Offline announces new album ‘La grande évasion’ + shares lead single ‘Boulevard National’
Hamburg-based producer and multi-instrumentalist The Offline has announced his brand new album, La grande évasion, set for release later this November via DeepMatter Records. Alongside the announcement, he shares the project’s lead single, Boulevard National, complete with a new video to bring the track’s atmosphere to life.
Boulevard National offers the first glimpse into the world of La grande évasion: a widescreen, cinematic cut that fuses hip-hop’s head-nod swing with rich jazz harmony and atmospheric textures. Built on hypnotic grooves and layered instrumentation, the track captures The Offline’s signature ability to create soundscapes that are as immersive as they are rhythmically compelling. The single arrives with a video which offers a visual escape into the moods and motifs that drive the record.
With La grande évasion, The Offline continues his exploration of instrumental storytelling — blending hazy nostalgia with forward-looking production to deliver a record that feels timeless yet contemporary. Available on black or transparent violet vinyl, the album promises to be one of the most evocative releases in the DeepMatter / Root Records catalog to date.
