Sébastien Tellier, the Parisian master of chords and melody, whose identity might be found in the triangle between genius, eccentric and enigma, returns with his extraordinary new album. A concept set in a part-mythical Brazil, the music has an intense, sumptuous, sensual and cinematic edge. Its title is Portuguese but the meaning is universal: ‘L’Aventura’.
The album was mostly recorded in Paris and at Jean-Michel Jarre’s studio – a holy grail for synthesiser fiends such as Tellier – outside the capital. But it was lovely expanded in Brazil, care of cult legend Arthur Verocai, who arranged all the album’s strings, some of the backing vocals, and helped secured the services of some of Rio de Janeiro’s premier musicians, such as percussionist Robertinho Silva. So ‘L’Aventura’ feels authentically Brazilian. There are homages to the sun, like ‘Sous Les Rayons Du Soleil’ (aka ‘Under The Sun’s Rays’), a slice of suave, uptempo pop suggests Tellier’s late French compatriot Serge Gainsbourg streaked with tropical colour, while ‘Aller Vers Le Soleil’ (aka ‘Go To The Sun’) feeds off disco and synth-pop. But the record’s heart is all Tellier. ‘Ma Calypso’ is equally sublimely Euro-mantic as calypso, just as ‘Ambiance Rio’ and ‘L’Adulte’ are unique twists on samba and cha-cha respectively.
