Sebastien Tellier Releases New Album ‘My God Is Blue’

Announcing his long awaited return with this unique message, Sébastien Tellier bounds back to the forefront of our collective musical conscience with ‘My God Is Blue’. After a memorable performance at Parklife in 2011, Australian fans can once again worship at the altar of Tellier when his fourth studio album is released in Australia on 7th September 2012.

Citing artists such as Michael Jackson and George Michael as musical inspirations for this album it’s clear that Tellier hasn’t lost his knack or desire for a pop pinch and serious dance floor appeal. Tracks such as ‘Cochon Ville’ plays host to enrapturing rhythms and outlandishly catchy melodic hooks designed to entrance, mystify and seduce the listener as only Sébastien Tellier knows how.

It’s an album harbouring a prophetic philosophy and a vision of ideality, an album whose music seeks to not only entertain, inspire and charm, but also to create a community of like-minded individuals searching to follow their dreams, and find their true path in life. Starting things off in his usual manner, Tellier went about composing his newest creation in his studio in his apartment, before completing the record alongside reputed producer and Ed Banger stalwart, Mr Flash.

The video for the first teaser track ‘Pépito Bleu’ features an azure flash of lightning in the dark night, an altar made of stone overhanging a foggy wood, where a hypnotized crowd draws closer: Sebastien Tellier has just arrived on earth. From his immaculate toga, an imposing Blue Pepito is visible, an eponymous symbol of the first song dragged out from his spiritual album.

Throughout his career, Tellier has been inspired, almost infatuated with different mentally, spiritually and physically provocative subjects, with each such infatuation going on to conceive a vision and a theme for an album. From 2004’s ‘Politics’, through to the hugely successful ‘Sexuality’ in 2008, Tellier has spent the past decade practising and mastering the art of igniting a flash of inspiration into a blazing inferno of realised creativity.

From the first rattles of debut single ‘Fantino’ back in 2001, through to the enduring popularity of 2005’s sumptuous ‘La Ritounelle’ and the smash hit success of ‘Eurovision touted Divine’, Tellier has proved himself to be the undisputed king of a pop classic with a psychical, sensual and physical pull. ‘My God Is Blue’ is the work of a composer, a poet, a visionary, an inventor, and it’s merely opening the door to a world of thought and revelation which is yet to fully unfold.

“This ambitious, oddball, lush, relentlessly sexy electro-funk and twisted disco record shoots for something far higher than that. Target? The world”
Mixmag: 4/5 – Album of the month

“Sebastien invites you to follow him, like a sexy David Koresh, and with tunes like ‘Sedulous’, ‘Pepito Bleu’ and ‘Cochon Ville’, the call might just prove irresistible”
NME: 7/10

“It’s been four years well spent because ‘My God is Blue’ is his best album yet… The results are charming, melancholy and achingly beautiful”
Uncut: 8/10

“Don’t listen to my record, listen to my message, vibrate to my music, let’s merge our dreams, together spreading our combined energy in an immense blue wave that will flood the world – and the truth with emerge.” Sébastien Tellier on My God Is Blue.
