The Line Of Best Fit
Tellier’s Confection is an experimental anthology. It’s not entirely what you might expect, and there’s no doubt it won’t be to everyone’s taste

The soulfulness and melancholy of these songs make them special among Tellier's body of work, giving more depth to Confection than might be expected
