Fuelled by film, anime and religion, the eclectic duo rewrite the world’s rules.

‘Les cigales’ takes its' sonic cues from the structure of film and TV music from the 1960s and 70s, channelling the influence of film composers such as Francois de Roubaix and David Axelrod, whilst also sitting somewhere between the washed out, sun-soaked sonics of Surprise Chef and Robohands. As the EP unwinds, its narrative reflects a love story, full of longing, melancholy and drama, connecting with the story of Gyptis and Protis – the founding myth of Marseilles – whose love broke convention and welcomed the arrival of foreign people on French soil.
The project follows The Offline's debut album ‘La couleur de la mer’, released in November 2023, which saw him create his own soundtrack to a film yet to be made. Inducing images of manorial, fog-swept villas at the seas edge, silhouetted sailing boats and cigar-chomping villains attempting to thwart the mission of an imaginary hero, the record is a masterfully composed sonic journey. ‘Les cigales’ sees him continue to build upon a distinctive sound that moves from dramatic cues to fragile romanticism, incorporating psychedelic spaciness, retro soul and hip-hop sensibilities informed by his extensive record collection.
The Offline came to life when composer and photographer Felix Müller travelled the Atlantic coastline in the south of France with his analogue camera, capturing beach life on film. After returning to his native Hamburg, he started writing songs as the sonic counterpart to the analogue visuals. Debut EP ‘En clair-obscur’ captured the essence of his journey, and the feeling of a cool summer soundtrack. His music has seen support from Huey Morgan and Deb Grant (BBCR6), plus Somewhere Soul, Rinse FM, Radio FIP, Jazz FM and more, amassing millions of streams and selling hundreds of records

Version bande originale de la série dramatique "Oshinoko", qui est une adaptation dramatique et cinématographique de la bande dessinée populaire d'Aka Akasaka et Mengo Yokoyari, créée par Amazon et Toei.
Fox Capture Plan est en charge de la musique.
[Oshi no Ko], qui a été sérialisé dans Weekly Young Jump en 2020 par Aka Akasaka et Mengo Yokoyari, est un décor fantastique dans lequel l'enfant de l'idole légendaire Ai se réincarne, des éléments de suspense qui ne craignent pas les représentations choquantes, et `` divertissement''. L'histoire inédite et sans précédent qui pénètre sans hésitation dans le monde complexe du «monde» est choquante et est devenue un sujet brûlant parmi un large éventail de générations. Le total cumulé de bandes dessinées a dépassé les 18 millions d'exemplaires (*en août 2024), et même après la fin de la diffusion de la deuxième saison de l'anime, la réponse est énorme et l'élan se poursuit.
Pendant ce temps, le projet de film d'action réelle a enfin commencé sérieusement, réunissant les acteurs les plus récents et passionnants, dont l'actrice principale Kaion Sakurai, Asuka Saito, Nagisa Saito, Nanoka Hara, Mizuki Kayashima et Ryo Narita. De plus, des acteurs vétérans tels que Kotaro Yoshida, Kana Kurashina, Nobuaki Kaneko et Jun Kaname ont solidifié leur soutien, et les attentes quant à la haute qualité de la vidéo grandissent les unes après les autres.
La musique sera gérée par FOX Capture Plan, qui est actif en tant que trio avec piano et a également travaillé sur les bandes sonores du film « The Confidence Man JP » ainsi que de nombreux drames et anime.

At just 16 years old, Jaden Evans is already making waves in the jazz world with the release of his debut album, "Evans on Evans." A prodigious talent on the piano, Jaden grew up surrounded by music, being the grandson of the legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans. Inspired by his grandfather's timeless recordings, innovative harmonic approach and contributions to the jazz trio format, Jaden began formal training the piano at the age of six, receiving lessons from his mother, Michele Evans, who taught him to read classical music as well as understand jazz charts and the fundamentals of improvisation. He studied for a few years with Michael Preddy and is now under the tutelage of Charles Chen.
He joined the jazz band in middle school, then played in the top high school jazz band, the Jazz Ambassadors, winning 1st place(in the combo division) at the Charles Mingus Jazz Competition in NYC. He has performed at the Brevard Music Center Jazz, the UNC Greensboro Honors HS Jazz Band clinic and the Jim Ketch Jazz Festival. He won the “Outstanding Soloist” award at the Elon University Jazz Festival. He is currently 1st chair in the Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble, which regularly competes at the Essentially Ellington Big Band Competition in NYC.
With a deep respect for the traditions of jazz and a passion for exploring new sounds, Jaden has crafted an album that honors his grandfather’s musical legacy while showcasing his unique voice. His playing is a blend of intricate improvisation and emotive storytelling, earning him recognition as one of the brightest young stars in jazz.
"Evans on Evans" is a heartfelt tribute to Bill Evans’ influence and a bold statement of his own artistic vision. As Jaden steps into the spotlight, he carries forward the Evans name with pride, poised to make his own mark on the world of jazz.

オブスキュアでトリッピー、緩やかにサイケデリックなサウンドで国内外のリスナーを魅了してきた孤高のバンド、OGRE YOU ASSHOLEが5年振りのフルアルバムをリリースする。
昨年発表され絶賛を得た"家の外"(本作にはそのアルバムver.を収録)や、鬼気迫るトランス状態に到達するライヴからも、近年のバンドの進化は既に明らかだった。その境地から放たれる本作では、このバンドが探求してきた人力の反復/隙間のアンサンブルが孕むトリップ感覚と、更なるエレクトロニクスの導入を経て獲得したクラウトロック的な電化ミニマリズムが混ざり合う。前作『新しい人』を傑作たらしめた静的な揺らぎの快楽が、モジュレートされる電子音とのオーガニックな並走によって、新たな響きを得ているのだ。あらゆる巨人達を彷彿とさせながらも唯一無二であり続けるバンドの、最新形のサイケデリアをお聴き逃しなく。先行リリースされている"偶然生まれた"を皮切りに、全10曲を収録。
