File this one under ‘new to me.’
Sébastien Tellier is a French soloist who has opened for Air, the Magic Numbers, Moby and Royksöpp. His album Politics, dropped way back in 2004, but sometimes (most of the time) I’m a little behind the curve.
Tellier makes colorful popish songs with layers of solid arrangement. He puts together an engaging sound and runs the gamut of instrument selection including the sci-fi Theremin.

Sébastien Tellier | La Ritournelle
Between marveling at Scarlett Johansson’s overall fineness or trying to figure out how Sophia Coppala can be so darned cool, you may have missed this atmospheric diddy from Lost in Translation.
Sébastien Tellier | Fantino
He also plies the remix trade. He gives Phoenix a touch with this one. I’ve heard the kids are gaga about this rock music band.
Phoenix | Long Distance Call (Sébastien Tellier Mix)
He is amazing live. Saw him years ago when he opened for Air. Still kicking myself for not taking any photos (damn all those Air photos).
