Sebastien Tellier returns with ‘L’amour Et La Violence’

Sebastien Tellier, the unique voice of modern French electronic-edged pop, and the undisputed coolest man in music returns with the final single from his acclaimed album 'Sexuality'. A split release showcasing outstanding re-workings of Tellier's originals by two of today's hottest and most talented artist/producers Floating Points and Penguin Prison.

23 yr old Sam Shepherd, aka Floating Points, a neuroscientist by day, continues to stretch sound in his unique post-dubstep modern classical style. Already acclaimed by cutting edge DJ's from Radio 1,1Xtra and Rinse FM his recent releases via the Eglo, Planet Mu and R2 labels have all been essential purchases. For his, a quite breathtaking and beautiful, mix of 'L'amour Et La Violence' Floating Points fuses waves of analogue synths, simmering sub bass and Tellier's intimate vocals for the ultimate textural cocktail of a dance music experience. It is very special indeed and adds further to the growing acclaim for his work.

In it's original form, 'L'Amour Et La Violence', is perhaps the simplest song on the album, it's solo piano only containing a smouldering splash of electronic augmentation, while Tellier's voice is at its most honest and vulnerable; 'Tell me what you think, about my life, about my childhood, I like love and violence too'. It has been widely described as Sebastien's true follow up to his seminal release 'La Ritournelle'. The video for the original has been shot and directed by Roman Coppola, 'at home with Sebastien', to set-off the album's most sensitive mood-setting classic.

The EP will be available as a twelve inch vinyl and digital download on Monday 14th December.
