Editorial Reviews

2001 The Sébastien Tellier story began with L'incroyable verite A record filled with sorrow, made for crying under candlelight. A carefree album mixed by Quentin Dupieux, completely devoid of drums / percussion. An introspective journey to the boundaries of the universe and intimacy where Sebastien, drowsy and bedraggled, embarks on a search for lost time without leaving his bed (Pink Floyd, Robert Wyatt, a certain mindset of the 70's). An entity borne out of wonderings in the gardens of French music. At Record Makers HQ (Air s former label), the singularity of the record is thoroughly endorsed.

2004 - Sébastien Tellier opens his bedroom window and discovers something crazy: the outside world. With his second album, Politics, (Tony Allen on drums, Philippe Zdar on production duties), he covers the globe in huge strides (Africa, US, South America) to try and make sense of it all. La Ritournelle, an epic, romantic piece, really caused a stir. It convinced every listener of one thing - Sébastien Tellier is an important artist.

2006. After Sessions, a process of catching up and reinvigorating his repertoire (as well as Christophe's sublime 'Dolce Vita') with the help of Simon Dalmais on piano, Sébastien locked himself away into a Parisian recording studio Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (one half of Daft Punk) behind the controls to produce the next instalment of his adventures.

2007. Summer time in Biarritz. A bar on the beach. Sébastien Tellier, immaculately dressed in a white suit, is leaning on the bar, sipping a Martini. In the distance the sun is setting, some bronzed girls are heading nonchalantly towards The Blue Cargo. Sébastien clicks his fingers: the sounds of Sexuality, his third album, fill the room. Eleven tracks which cover the whole night in less than an hour, from dusk til dawn. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Electronic Album of 2008, March 28, 2008

If its not enough that the entire album is produce by Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, add the delightfully calming and sensual voice of Tellier; It's an instant hit. Not straight "techno" but at the same time not even electro. The album is mostly composed of half tempo x-rated movie soundtrack beats, but with a fat analog drum/synth twist, witch makes the album unbeatably funky and playful. Several tracks contain entrancing arpeggio patterns that take the listener to another world. In short Guy-Man and Tellier have created a way to make electronic music worth listening to again.

This album takes you on a journey and invites the listener to slow down and listen to his own heart beat and breathing. Lovely melodies, catchy and ideal for tantalizing slow dances. One for the lovers.
