Sébastien Tellier's music has always fused perfectly with images. Many directors have come to Tellier for original scores -- including Gilles Lellouche and Tristan Aurouet for their 2004 film Narco -- and Tellier's music has been included in soundtracks for many memorable films, including Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation (2003) and Daft Punk's Electroma (2006). Sébastien Betbeder asked Tellier to compose the music for his 2015 film Marie et les naufragés (Marie and the Castaways), starring Eric Cantona. For this score, Tellier chose a retro-futuristic electronic path in the tradition of Giorgio Moroder's music, mirroring the free and off-the-beaten-path tone of the film. With the help of friend and fellow musician John Kirby, Tellier diffuses the film's languid themes with tributes to Marvin Gaye and Ennio Morricone. Instrumental music with a deeply sensual twist. Includes download code.

L'Aventura arose from Brazilian heat and French romanticism. This is the history of Sebastien Tellier's fantasy childhood in Brazil, arranged by the local cult figure Arthur Verocai -- a wild mixture of love, dreams, sun and landscapes. As Tellier himself states, "For this album I wanted to rewrite my childhood. I chose to place this adventure in Brazil, land of splendor and joy, with an eternal childish soul." The recording produced by the artist took place between Paris and Rio de Janeiro during the year 2013. These adventures brought him into Jean-Michel Jarre's, Bernard Estardy's, and Philippe Zdar's (Cassius/Phoenix) studios. Zdar, who knows so well how to make French music sound international, sublimates the 10 tracks of this album -- halfway between the elegancy and the required level of a maestro and the immediacy of a popular song. This sixth opus was composed and written by Sebastien Tellier. For the first time in his career, all the lyrics are written in French. Gainsbourg is not far away, like a tutelary figure. Christophe is also a springboard, inspiring the use of more space to express himself, and Lucio Battisti made him understand that singing in his native language was possible. L'Aventura is a record of shores stretching to an everlasting new beginning. This is naive art rendered by an open heart and a childish vision of creation, close in spirit to his classic 2008 album Sexuality (REC 046LP). Deluxe gatefold sleeve.

Last remaining copies of this RSD 2014 release. 180 gram deluxe reissue of the first album by Sébastien Tellier. His previous releases include a track on 1998's Source Rocks compilation -- "Fantino" (used in Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation film), which was noticed by Rolling Stone ("one of the loneliest sounds you will hear this year"). The album was recorded between September 1999 and March 2000. Sébastien plays most of the instruments and produced his album himself. It was mixed by Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr Oizo) and Sebastien Tellier in July 2000 with the help of Guillaume Lebraz. Sébastien and Mathieu Tonetti wrote the lyrics to the songs. L'Incroyable Vérité is an album about life. You can hear a dog singing, a woman screaming, and legs growing. Sébastien Tellier recommends that you listen to his album alone by candle-light.

"La Ritournelle" is undoubtedly the biggest song of all of Sébastien Tellier's catalog. A real love anthem, the song crossed the world and affected thousands of hearts and lovers. Comprised of 7:40 minutes of the cult melody, a sensual and mesmerizing piano rhythm, accompanied by Afro-beat master Tony Allen at the drum kit, this piece has become Tellier's reference-point. The composer's genius and his sharpness of writing reflects his musical talent placing him among the best French artists of his generation.

Confection is an album from the talented composer Sebastien Tellier. Apart from one song, Confection is an entirely instrumental piece that Sebastien conceived like a motion picture score. Several romantic musical themes are showcased in different versions, orchestral and acoustic. Their sequence brings the listener on a succession of subtle climaxes, creating powerful emotions and leaving room for fantasized images. The very team that helped Tellier create his cult classic song "La Ritournelle" was reunited for the occasion: Tony Allen of Fela Kuti fame on drums, Robin Coudert, keyboardist for Phoenix, Emmanuel d'Orlando on string arrangements, and Philippe Zdar, who mixed the record. He is also responsible for mixing albums for Phoenix, Cat Power, Beastie Boys, and Kindness. The album artwork and "L'amour naissant" video are from Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Confection is an album as close as possible to Tellier's soul, a testimony of his deep musical skills. It showcases his outstanding composer talent as rarely before. Confection is a love letter for a film that doesn't exist yet. Housed in a gatefold sleeve; includes mp3 download.

Sébastien Tellier's album My God Is Blue has won some notable proselytes, each bringing their personalities to their remixes of the hypnotic disco bliss that is the single "Cochon Ville." The Magician, formerly of Aeroplane, offers a disco-meets-new-wave space-jam, complete with Depeche Mode-esque bass licks and CZ-101-esque synth coos. Brodinski's cut transports us to day three at an Ibiza festival, tropical drums ringing behind walls of saturated bass and rave-ready know-how. Dimitri From Paris pushes the funk factor, pressing all things disco to their limit.
