Sébastien Tellier's latest is a musical reimagining of his childhood inspired by the sights of sounds of Brazil rather than the reality of his French home. Veteran French musicians Jean-Michel Jarre and Philippe Zdar of house duo Cassius contribute, along with celebrated Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai and Brazilian jazz drummer Robertinho Silva.
Arriving shortly after his aptly named chamber pop homage Confection, Sébastien Tellier gives that album's romantic feel a Brazilian twist with L'Aventura.
Sebastian Tellier gives Bossa Nova a generous coating of Parisian swagger on his lush, expansive new album, writes <strong>Lanre Bakare</strong>
