Description
Confection is a surprise-album from the talented composer Sebastien Tellier, to be released on November 4th on Record Makers. Apart from one song, Confection is an entirely instrumental piece that Sebastien conceived like a motion picture score. Several romantic musical themes are showcased in different versions, orchestral or acoustic. Their sequence brings the listener on a succession of subtle climaxes, creating powerful emotions and leaving room for fantazised images. The recording session of Sessions was definitely old-school, as decided by the maestro. The very team which helped Tellier create his cult classic song La Ritournelle 7 years ago was reunited for the occasion:
Tony Allen, of Fela fame, on drums
Rob, keyboardist for Phoenix
Emmanuel dOrlando on string arrangements
and Philippe Zdar mixed the record. He is also responsible for mixing albums for Phoenix, Cat Power, Beastie Boys, or Kindness and part of Cassius.
Confection is an album as close as possible to Telliers soul, a testimony of his deep musical skills. it showcases his outstanding composer talent as rarely before, reminding of his early albums such as Lincroyable vérité or Politics. Confection is a love letter for a film that doesnt exist yet. To celebrate the release of Confection and for the first time in his career, Tellier will perform a special concert with an orchestra, in Paris on October 12.
