Sebastien Tellier

After stumbling across some remixes by Sebastien Tellier a while ago, I picked up his first album, L'incroyable Vérité, and although I enjoyed it, it contained a track on it that was so experimental and insane that my wife threatened me with physical violence if she ever heard it again. I kept looking, though, and picked up another Tellier record, Politics from 2004, that she's much more likely to enjoy (if I ever deign to play music in her presence ever again). It's got a delightful range: a track like "League Chicanos" flirts with prog rock in a fun way, "La Ritournelle" is irresistible dream pop, "Benny" sounds like something you'd see performed on The Muppet Show. Tellier is a weirdo, but he's definitely my kind of weirdo; he has a new album coming out end of February.
