Sébastien Tellier

Sébastien Tellier returns in 2026 with Kiss The Beast, his seventh album. He recomposes his musical language between pop, electronic music and contemporary folk influences, creating songs that play with textures, rhythms and the voice. A multi-instrumentalist and sound explorer, he blends caressing synths, acoustic guitars and programming, with a melodic sensibility that hooks without overdoing it. The new tracks alternate moments of breath and tension, chiaroscuro ballads and more direct pulses, like a journey that moves between the intimate and the slow dance.

He presents this new chapter on stage at La Cartonnerie in Reims on 19 March 2026. He is known for his precision in assembling atmospheres, able to lay a bassline beneath a choir, to twist a sound until he finds the exact nuance, then let it run. Between analog keyboards, a hushed vocal and carefully crafted arrangements, the live show traces a continuum between his new material and the milestones that mark his path, with that way of making pop breathe when it meets machines and the colours of the world.
