"A few years ago, a stranger stole Sebastien Tellier's identity. The impostor sporting the musician's trademark sunglasses and beard posed as the Frenchman at fancy parties, nabbed free clothes from Chanel (Tellier used to be an ambassador for the brand), and even held meetings with bosses from Hollywood studios (Tellier has dabbled in soundtrack work). He [also] took a lot of drugs like ketamine in front of a lot of people."
"The crime was only rumbled when a confused woman got in touch to tell him she'd been partying with Sebastien Tellier in France only to see on Instagram that the real Tellier was playing a gig in Belgium. This experience has been alchemised into pop gold via Copycat, a sparkly synthpop workout on his upcoming eighth album, Kiss the Beast."
A stranger stole Sebastien Tellier's identity, impersonating him at parties, securing free Chanel clothes, meeting Hollywood executives, and taking drugs publicly. The impostor's actions created confusion when a woman reported partying with 'Sebastien Tellier' in France while the real Tellier performed in Belgium. Tellier turned the incident into 'Copycat,' a sparkly synthpop track on Kiss the Beast, featuring the chorus line "My name you steal it / Hat and success" over chunky bass, disco strings and crackling synths. Tellier's work juxtaposes playful concepts with majestic compositions across a varied pop career.
