On the cult star’s sixth studio album, his first in five years, Tellier explores this topic in typically dreamy, lo-fi fashion. An airy, electronic adventure full of eclecticism and eccentricism, Domesticated is the French national treasure at his delightful best.

There once was another Sébastien Tellier – “a lone wolf,” as the Parisian pop genius puts it. Then he fell in love. Then, came marriage. After that, came kids, till one day, the acclaimed synth-loving songwriter found himself alone in his home, entranced by a toaster. “I was just listening to music when suddenly, I started to notice all the everyday objects surrounding me,” he laughs. These symbols of his new life – a life of spilled milk, school runs, scrubbed floors and pasta dinners – got him thinking about growing up and getting older; how over time we trade in the animalistic lives of our youth for lives of quiet, calm (and yes, shiny toasters). “Domestication is a universal subject, an experience, we all go through,” he explains. “It’s a good life! I feel like I really exist now.

That I’m more than just a wolf – there’s a warmth now, a purpose.” On the cult star’s sixth studio album, his first in five years, Tellier explores this topic in typically dreamy, lo-fi fashion. An airy, electronic adventure full of eclecticism and eccentricism, Domesticated is the French national treasure at his delightful best.
