Domesticated
🇬🇧🇺🇸 "Domesticated" is Sébastien Tellier's 6th studio album, his groundbreaking come back since "L'Aventura" in 2014. In his mind, he had only one ambition: gathering a fresh new guard of producers with the aim of crafting a new lush, futuristic pop sound, although still infused by his eternal and oh so special melodies. Mixed by the sound wizard Nk.F (celebrated for French rap duo PNL’s stunning sound), "Domesticated" will surprise you by its breadth and silkiness. Its topic, domestication, will speak to anybody delightfully familiar with the everyday domestic ballet of a household. Mostly written at home, Sébastien allowed himself to be inspired by what he had in front of him: piles of plates stacked in the sink, dirty socks spread out on the scratched floor, two beautiful children he has yet to domesticate…or is it him now who is being domesticated? 🇫🇷 "Domesticated" est le 6e album studio de Sébastien Tellier, son retour en grandes pompes depuis "L'Aventura" en 2014. Dans sa tête, une ambition : rassembler toute une jeune garde de producteurs dans le but de produire un nouveau son pop léché, futuriste, mais toujours emprunt de ces mélodies éternelles dont lui seul a le secret. Mixé par le sorcier du son Nk.F (repéré notamment aux côtés de PNL), "Domesticated" vous surprendra par son ampleur et sa douceur. Et aussi par son thème, la domestication, et le destin d'un homme qui assiste au ballet domestique avec délectation. Écrit en majeure partie à la maison, il s'est laissé inspirer par ce qu'il y a trouvé : des piles d'assiettes dans l'évier, des chaussettes sales sur le parquet rayé, deux beaux jeunes enfants à domestiquer... Ou peut-être est-ce lui qui est désormais domestiqué ?...
The idiosyncratic electro-pop singer-songwriter (and Eurovision contestant) turns his pen to the mundane magic of household chores, but it too often looks like he missed a spot.
After the release of 2014's Brazilian fantasy L'Aventura, Sébastien Tellier took some time to compose music for films and work with Dita von Teese on her cleverly sexy self-titled debut album.
