Sébastien Tellier's New Album - 'Sexuality' |
Tuesday, 19 February 2008 |
Produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and released by Air's label Record Makers, Sébastien Tellier's new album 'Sexuality' is a rhythmic ode to - you guessed it - the art of love making.
‘Sexuality’ explores the common ground between Daft Punk's 'Make Love' and Air's 'Sexy Boy'.
Tellier's songs traverse voluptuous synths and sweeping strings.
The drums throb and whir soothingly at the edges of the sound.
Tellier sings in a convincing coo and whisper as if he is updating
Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's ascendant 'Je T'Aime Moi Non
Plus'.
Where Tellier's French contemporaries like Justice head for the
euphoric, chanting hooks, Tellier goes mellow, radiating warmth and
revealing subtle analogue textures.
On the film clip for the instrumental track 'Sexual Sportswear',
Tellier loops his keyboards like a double helix as a female body, lit
up to resemble the iconic cover art for A Tribe Called Quest's 'The Low
End Theory', writhes and moves to the music. By Nick Christie
Most definitely one for the lovers.
