A preview of the forthcoming Sébastien Tellier album, with the track Parfum Diamant in A COLORS SHOW. All capitals, of course, because that's the brand and to be honest, I'm happy to associate an upper case artist like Sébastien Tellier with a show that absolutely shouts out its name.
COLORS has a nice formula for presenting artists. Uncomplicated, no gimmicks, and the focus squarely on the artist who is front and centre of the event. But the visual style is unmistakable. Hats off to them, it's always a pleasure to watch their output.
Speaking of hats, Tellier is giving a vibe that could straight from Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain, a mystic poet hidden by a hat, shades, and a beard. Walking a fine line between dandy and holy man, high fashion or just a bearded guy in a black suit, whispering words that could be platitudes or pearls of wisdom.
Maybe he's best known for performing at Eurovision when he arrived on stage in a golf cart, but there's always been more going on with Tellier. Even a fairly minimal piece like Parfum Diamant sticks in your head with a single listen.
Tellier's Kiss The Beast album, with contributions from Nile Rodgers, Kid Cudi, and Slayyyter, is released on January 30. I'm already excited about this one, the first album I've really been looking forward to so far this year, so well worth getting a pre-download to catch it when it drops, I reckon.
