We last left him with the synthetic storytelling of his 2020 album Domesticated. Since then, Sébastien Tellier has been far from idle: he has worked on three film soundtracks, released two EPs, directed projects for some of his peers, and delivered one of the most memorable performances at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games with his timeless La Ritournelle. Twenty years earlier, the release of this track on his second album Politics had already established Tellier as one of the most charismatic artists of the 21st century.
A multi-talented multi-instrumentalist, he has explored a variety of musical landscapes spanning pop, folk(s), and electronic music. The result is a wealth of tracks that have become cult favorites: Universe, L’amour et la violence, Divine, Roche, Cochon Ville, Fingers of Steel, A Ballet, and more. Throughout it all, he has maintained his signature style, long hair and beard, cap, and dark sunglasses, which has led to frequent collaborations with top fashion houses, captivated by Sébastien Tellier’s untamed dandyism.
