Sebastien Tellier is a French dude with french kissing on his mind. In his latest outing, Tellier delivers some nice bedroom pop along the lines of Air and some of the more mild Daft Punk tracks (think "Make Love"). Sexuality was actually co-produced by Guy- Manuel de Homem- Christo (one-half of Daft Punk), and his influence on the album is apparent throughout. On each track the two frenchmen seem to be intent on layering sounds while implementing subtle chordal changes, which make Sexuality danceable, but not dance-floor ready. Tellier also does quite a bit of singing/crooning, switching from French to English in a way that allows him seem both ambiguous and cool. Some critics have dismissed Sexuality as simply a porno soundtrack, which could be true if your constantly posted up in the masturbertoreum. Yes, Tellier's music is somewhat erotic, but in a hip French-electro kinda way. Give Sebastian a listen on myspace or imeem.com and judge for yourself. Also, take a good look at Sexuality's cover art, it's pretty much an indicator of what Tellier is all about.
