Sébastien Tellier is a French singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is currently signed to the band Air's label, Record makers.
His first LP, L'incroyable Vérité (The Incredible Truth), was released in 2001. Sébastien went on tour with Air in support of the album and was joined onstage by world-renowned thereminist Pamelia Kurstin. L'incroyable Vérité is a pop album featuring styles from lo-fi electronica to bizarrecabaret tunes. Its sleeve featured Tellier in full evening dress on thefront, while the back of jacket had a shot of him cavorting in someplayboy’s pool. He instructed listeners to only listen to the album bycandle light. The track, Fantino, was chosen by Sofia Coppola for the Lost in Translation soundtrack.
Sebastien followed this with Politics (2005), which, like his third studio album Sexuality (2008), took single term as both its title and theme. The disc dealtwith ways of power and governance, in as much as it discussed therelative merits of genocide versus ketchup, as well as thetennis-playing opportunities presented by the Berlin Wall. Politic’smost prominent song was La Ritournelle, a string-led tune, whichfeatured Nigerian drummer, Tony Allen, some eighteen months before he joined Damon Albarn for The Good, the Bad & the Queen.
Since Politics' release' Tellier also recorded an acoustic album of his more popular songs, Sessions (2006), which topped the French iTunes Store chart; this was repackaged for the British market as Universe (2006),to include both highlights from the French CD, as well as compositionsfrom his score to the film Narco.
His third studio album Sexuality (an 11 track meditation on love-making) was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Tellier and de Homem-Christo live near each other in Paris.
Tellier's father played with nihilist French prog rockers, Magma.
