About Sébastien Tellier
Combining reality and imagination in his surreal universe, the multi-instrumentalist with the hypnotic voice returns with his 7th album. A dream in which the human being cultivates their animality.
Sébastien Tellier's look heralds a complete instrumental and vocal aesthetic. Between pop, folk and electronic music, the artist has produced hits such as Ritournelle, Divine and Roche in six studio albums. Following a series of conceptual projects focused on experimentation, the musician succumbed the to the irresistible call of the great pop tradition. With Kiss The Beast, his 7th album released in 2026, he revisits the sound spectrum explored throughout his career, while projecting it into new territories. "I've always had this inner conflict, between instinct and reason, between animality and humanity. This album reflects this ambivalence. It's an intimate journey where I surrender to my contradictions in order to be reborn. A cry, a waking dream where we lay down our masks to become whole again. I combine savagery and tenderness, fury and poetry; because, deep down, I am an animal that dreams and a man who roars", confides the singer. In this new opus carried by Owen Pallett's strings, Nile Rodgers' guitar and the presence of Kid Cudi and Slayyyter, Tellier condenses and transcends his experiences. From Paris to London, he makes an excessive declaration of love for pop music that is both sensitive and universal.
