Sebastien Tellier, the unique voice of modern French
electronic-edged pop, France's
inspired choice as their 2008 Eurovision representative and
essential music pioneer will return to UK
shores in early 2009 to promote his forthcoming UK
single, 'Kilometer'.
In France, meanwhile,
he is about to release album opener 'Roche' as the third
single from his acclaimed album 'Sexuality'. 'Roche'
is emotional, hypnotic and oozing with sensuality. With blissfully
understated vocals, conveying a barely suppressed passion, Tellier
comes on like a modern day Serge Gainsbourg.
Remixes from discerning compatriots Kavinsky and Breakbot
ensure the EP had to be made available in the UK
whilst 'Kilometer' is primed for release.
Kavinsky's mix, his first new material post Grand Theft Auto
IV, adds Dario Argento and John Carpenter vibes that accentuate
the melancholic feel of the original. Breakbot immediately
turns away from the dark side and adds beats, breaks and adorable
guitar riffs reminicent of the best 80s pop tunes from a John
Hughes soundtrack.
All in all, we think you'd be hard pushed to find a more impressive
pair of remixes released throughout the year and that's the
beauty of Sebastien Tellier - on top of his game whether it's
his own work or other artist's interpretations.
Sebastien will play UK
shows at Brighton's Concorde 2 on 21st
January 2009 and London's Shepherds Bush Empire
on 24th January 2009.
The EP will be available as a HIGHLY limited, twelve inch
vinyl and digital download.
