about

On The Offshore inhabit a dense and colourful musical territory integrating elements of triphop, neosoul, electronica and indie - thereby creating an alt-pop style which is very much their own.

On the Offshore is an international, alt-pop songwriting outfit with roots in trip-hop and electronica. The songwriters of the band are bassist, guitarist and producer Girisha Fernando (Germany / Sri Lanka) and singer, keyboardist and lyricist Lucy Pereira (UK / India). They are joined by two further band members for live shows: Kilian Bühler (Germany) on drums and Riccardo Ferrara (Italy) on guitar.

After the release of their 2009 album You have not, you’ve never been (Schaf Records), Lucy and Girisha found themselves living in different parts of the world for the next ten years. After this hiatus, they first released in 2019 the single and videos to Incident / To the Core and Commodity, and have now released a new album, In Exile, in January 2021.

The inspiration for the new album started in 2019 when they were commissioned to write and perform music for a modern production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest at the Augsburg State Theatre. A few of the new songs evolved out of that project, others have been written since then, such as the album single, All I Want, written as homage to late adolescence / young adulthood. The gorgeous music video for the smoothly grooving, upbeat track perfectly captures the joy, mystery and sense of elation of youth. This will be followed up by studio video of Watching You the opener from the album.

Augsburger Allgemeine about "In Exile" Jan 2021:

"In Exile is a wonderful album, a luminous, warm, melancholic work of music that sounds timeless in a 90s aesthetic, and feels like the comfort of home despite its title....a walk through the dim alleys of London's East End, when it was not yet beset by Starbucks chains, but when there were little backroom clubs everywhere, where you could discover the most wonderful music....Already after the first listen, the songs stick. That's how catchy they are, and every single one holds a little surprise, takes a short turn, and changes harmony or dynamics" (Sebastian Kraus)
