Sebastien Tellier: "Roche" (Video) (NSFW)

7:43 p.m. · March 3, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

 Sebastien Tellier is clearly daring all of us to take him seriously. While "Roche" seems pretty straightforward on its own, if not a little cheesy, its accompanying video completely takes the viewer into the realm of the absurd. Looking a little bit like a Doobie Brother in the late 70s, Tellier sits on a beach decked out in all white, playing a white baby grand. The kitsch gets thicker when you add some floating lips, some extra-large smurfs, and horseback-riding across a lovely lady into the mix. "Roche" appears on Sebastien Tellier's latest album, Sexuality, and it appears that Tellier might have a strange one indeed. [Pitchfork]
