Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhhh




Sebastian Tellier - Divine.

Let's stop fucking around and do this. We all know where this has been going for a long long time and let's just wrestle this steer to the ground, hog tie it, and go do something- anything - else. Let's put on some neon speedos and go to the electric beach. Let's put on silk robes and blow bubble pipes and ride skateboards down the hallways of our mansions. Let's find the disco we've been looking for, I think it's just past that cotton candy machine and the guy with the roller skates.

Listen, Sebastian Tellier is a weird dude. There's no denying that. But he makes fun songs. We all remember La Ritournelle from a couple years ago, right? And the Metronomy remix? That was a total jam. So he's back. He's back with a new album called Sexuality and it's a pip. It was produced by our friend up there on the right... Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo. AKA, the guy that isn't Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk. How promising is that? And how fucking gangster is that picture up there? Hot damn.

So anyway, this album is going to come out on Record Makers in europe, but no one seems to have any info on US distribution. If you know someone putting this out in the US, hit me up in the comments. I'd love to see a stateside release on this one so I don't have to pay import prices. Still, it's highly recommended.

I knew disco was coming back, but I could really do without the casio chord sounding Bossanova line and ooh-bops.

I am excited for some fun remixes, but alone, this kind of makes me uncomfortable.

nice post mark- I've been wondering what Tellier would do next (Politics was pretty crazy)...I like this new track. And yeah, that picture is so good!

Unbelieveably, this has just been been selected as the French entry in this year's Eurovision Song Contest....
