Let's continue our look at Gigwise.com's list of the top 50 dirtiest and sexiest album cover art, this time #21 (Gigwise comments in quotes):
21. Sebastien Tellier: ‘Sexuality’ – "Released just this year, Tellier’s ‘Sexuality’ dissects the subject of sex with almost unparalleled aplomb. It was only natural then that the record’s cover should be a sexed up beast. Tellier’s very own “sexual fantasy”, it features the singer aboard a horse straddling a massive naked female form – complete with pert nipples and pubic hair. Lovely."
This album is absolutely fantastic. I've admittedly been a fan of Monsieur Tellier ever since "La Ritournelle" first graced my ears a few years ago, but now he's delivered his masterpiece with this albums worth of fantastic songs! It's been produced by Daft Punk's own Guy-Manuel De Homem Christo so it's got that way sexy French electro touch to it whilst retaining Tellier's touch of fragility. With this album Tellier's gone from making super cinematic, lush orchestral pop music to achingly romantic, retro-futuristic electronic pop complete with ooahs and aahs dripping in synths and body heat. The best sonic aphrodisiac you'll find all year! (Amazon.com review)
