Confection

‘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 d’Orlando 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

The album artwork and ‘L’amour naissant’ video are from Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

‘Confection’ is an album as close as possible to Tellier’s soul, a testimony of his deep musical skills. it showcases his outstanding composer talent as rarely before, reminding of his early albums such as ‘L’incroyable vérité’ or ‘Politics’. ‘Confection’ is a love letter for a film that doesn’t 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.
