Sebastien Tellier To Share His Sexuality With America

Nothing spells sex-stank electro-pop irony quite like F R A N C E. To whit:   sonic kitsch savant Tellier's  new album Sexuality, out stateside in October, produced by Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.  While American audiences may be most familiar with Tellier from his instrumental "Fantino" from the Lost in Translation soundtrack, he's recently gone crooner, a twist so successful that his insanely catchy, dippy number "Divine" became France's entry in the 2008 Eurovision contest.

 

The album also represents Guy-Manuel's first non-Daft production, who says that Tellier  "is maybe the best singer and composer in France today."  Furthermore, in a no-brainer of a cross-marketing move, the album is being pre-released at all US American Apparel outlets on July 22nd - its sleazy-smooth Gallic grooves for bursting loins and broken hearts will most certainly comprise a site-appropriate shopping soundtrack.

 

Finally,  if there were any lingering doubts about Sebastien's devotion to lazer-disco excess, check out the eye-melting album cover.

I am Tellier's closest follower in what we call the hype Parisian core, and I can tell you - this is a scoop! - that the guy we call SebTell is going to be a hit in the US! Why you ask, well, because Americans are so much into raw sex...just like SebTell! You've got to see his gf to understand dudes!

wow. the only way this dude can live up to all the hype is if his gf is a hermaphrodite, porn-star nudist who carries tellier on shim's back while riding a unicorn that craps rainbows.
