Sebastien Tellier Plays Muse to Yazbukey
- story Chioma Nnadi
Yaz and Emel Kurhan are the designers behind jewelry line Yazbukey, and the sisters have done an immaculate job of maintaining the label’s cachet for almost 10 years. The latest collection is up on the Yazbukey site, with an accompanying foreword anointing kindred Parisian nutjob Sebastien Tellier their muse of the season—or, as the sisters tell it, the love guru of their new bejeweled cult. Tellier gets reincarnated in glittering plexiglass for fall 2009, images of which we spotted yesterday on Cool Hunting. The pieces are stunningly accurate in their likeness, but the thought of keeping dear Seb that close to our chests just seems a little much. Far more worship-worthy are these insanely gorgeous rope necklaces—more after the jump.

We’re working on our annual Icon issue right now and are happy to announce that this year it is Sebastien Tellier! Okay not really, but he is absolutely a personal hero of ours and always up for consideration anytime we discuss which music artist is The Coolest Person in the World. Seriously, from giving strokers to his microphone to riding a horse across a giant nekkid lady, Tellier inspires us to become a little more lecherous and French. There is no doubt the guy will eventually show up to an awards ceremony with his dink hanging out if he hasn’t already, and for that we will commend him and his country. This new video, directed by Fleur & Manu, might be our favorite of all the Sexuality videos so far, though the teaser for “Kilomoter” (after the jump) does look pretty amazing. (via GvsB)

Eventually, you will be able to buy Sebastien Tellier’s new album Sexuality somewhere that does not sell baby pum pum shorts, and on that day you will enjoy the original “L’Amour Et La Violence” coming up from behind you to squeeze your adult buns on the last track. It is magnificent. In the meantime, enjoy this surprisingly subtle Boys Noize remix.

- story THE FADER
FINALLY! Sebastien Tellier hooks us up with some lewd photos. It took him long enough. JUST KIDDING! Sebastien Tellier=Sex Jams=Kinda Weird Photos=We Are Totally Pleased. That math equation doesn’t make sense, but we don’t even care, we’re just happy to check the photos from the next couple legs of his tour across LA, the East Coast, Canada and an American Apparel (its own sovereign nation). Check out the further adventures of Sebastien (featuring alternate world Sebastien) after the jump.
FADER TV: Sebastien Tellier Live In NYC + Photo Tour Blog, Part 1
- story THE FADER
If you have yet to make yourself familiar with the particularly French and peculiarly seductive Sebastien Tellier, shame on you. Dirty dirty shame on you. He is nine million times more interesting than Carla Bruni and ten billion times hotter. And you know what else? No way in hell is Ms Bruni ever getting a guest blog on The FADER, but Tellier can post whatever he wants. In the case of his exclusive photo tour blog for us, he wants to post photos of his friends (French dudes named Cha-Cha) and our friends (Lana) having fun in LA. He’s now in NYC and we saw him last night at Hiro Ballroom where he proceeded to give us everything he had (…) and more (…) and we caught some of it on video for you. The clip above is Sebastien and Cha-Cha and another fellow performing the shit out of “Kilometer” from his new album Sexuality (now available only at American Apparel). Check dudes lamé! And check Sebastien’s photos after the jump.

Is that a butt? Two legs? Two arms photoshopped together to look like a butt? More importantly, is that Sebastien Tellier riding across the fleshy mountain on a HORSE while HOLDING A SURFBOARD? And (B), is that a sex reference? We’re gonna go ahead and say “Probably,” while jamming Danger’s spacey electro remix of “Divine” way too loud in our headphones, and wondering why we aren’t in France right now.

It’s weird, this new Ace Norton video for “Divine” looks just like the FADER office—all beards and longhairs, even the ladies! France had the
écrous to officially enter “Divine” in Eurovision 2008, the competition once won by a Finnish GWAR, so cast your votes for someone else because that thing is the kiss of death. Good luck though Sebo!

If anyone out there has a dream to love, a desire to live, a hope for erotica (and a non-gender specific mind boner), please give Sebastien Tellier your money. Kind of real talk in every way. His new album, Sexuality, is on sale in the US now at Turntable Lab on PINK MARBLE VINYL, which if paired with the purple Purple Haze is the cutest shit ever. And if you’re in Europe, you can get it here for a mere £5! That’s like $900, so don’t even bother if you ain’t Euro. OR you can get it from Pure Groove this week and get a free Tellier mixtape thrown in. And now, if you’d like any of that to make sense, read our recent Gen F on Sebastian along with a video and get a free song and an interview with dude.

Sebastien Tellier is incredible. He honestly might give less of a fuck than anyone on Planet Earth, and yet he makes meticulously sleazy pop music that obviously is the work of someone totally dedicated to helping humans mate with each other. He is the pied piper of boners. He is the Moses of coitus. Look at dude! What a hero. We just got this new song of his recently and, in addition to giving it to you (ha), we’re putting up the brief yet awesome interview from our story on him in the current issue. Read it after the jump.
