Kelley Polar: single-handedly making 1960s a capella vocal-jazz harmony arrangements seem like the BEST IDEA EVER (since 2005)
Haha. I almost bought a Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross album yesterday.

this is an incredibly entertaining interview. puff daddy, crickets, tofu-skin duck, conflict-zone chamber groups...

This album is kind of an evil twin to Love Songs ... I wanted it to be even denser, with even shorter songs, but still changing more quickly, and it is actually a little longer in total than the last one. I wanted it to be like the audio equivalent of one of those mythical sci-fi movies where there are hundreds of special effects shots per minute, juicy and transporting.

Ah, but if you read on you will see that he ATE THEM.

The cattle, that is, not the beard.
omg this is still so fucking good

New materials being released soon.... right? What's the word?
― generalmills, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

not an awful title

There are 3 songs on the new record that i like more than anything on 'Love Songs'.
There are 3 songs on the new record that i like less than anything on 'Love Songs'.
The rest is 'Love Songs' standard.

chrysanthemum is very polar-by-the-numbers i find. some of the songs i've heard from the new one are great tho (first track and that entropy duet)
― s1ocki, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:13 (eighteen years ago)
love all the 12"s, love the first album, love the new 12", i just cant fucking wait for the new album!
― pipecock, Saturday, 12 January 2008 02:36 (eighteen years ago)
love how 'entropy reigns' references 'blue monday'
― jermainetwo, Saturday, 12 January 2008 18:06 (eighteen years ago)
"Entropy Reigns" is fantastic. Was already excited; now much more so.
― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 03:46 (eighteen years ago)
new album's pretty great, but honestly, kinda sounds like dominique leone. especially the less dancey tracks. the arrangements, the vocals. kinda weird.
― jaxon, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 03:58 (eighteen years ago)
they both have "serious" music backgrounds and interests and probably thus can pull off the kind of harmonies and arrangements that your average bedroom studio types can't.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 04:29 (eighteen years ago)
oh yeah, i'm no saying that one copied the other, just that it's kinda neat to hear another classically trained prog-disco dude. which one's greg lake and which one's jon anderson?
― jaxon, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 06:55 (eighteen years ago)
man this album is totally awesome

is it out or are you guys going off promo/ leakage?
― jaime, Friday, 25 January 2008 19:38 (eighteen years ago)
Everybody should come to NY for the Environ Bar Mitzvah.
― dan selzer, Friday, 25 January 2008 20:23 (eighteen years ago)
It's released on March 3rd.
― arghkaybee, Friday, 25 January 2008 20:40 (eighteen years ago)
i disagree. tried to listen to it several times. the first time was my most pleasurable. he needs to focus on just playing his violin/cello/whatever and leave the very weak singing effort to indie rock bands. this album fails in my opinion.

Now I know why Dan wanted 'that' pic....

"Morgan, I can't believe you sold your entire Garbage Pail Kids set for a... what was it called? A record by Maraschino Benedetti?"
"Massimo Barsotti!"
"Who?"
"MASSIMO BARSOTTI!"
"Oh whatever, Morgan."

you got me, patrick!

I'm gonna post my entire pic somewhere, the look on my face is classic and I'm the only one actually holding a goddamn torah.

WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE 21 AND OVER
NOT FAIR
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 8 February 2008 20:33 (eighteen years ago)
my criticism seems unfair above. what i really want is a Kelley Polar Quartet LP with full on instrumental house/disco/italo jams.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 8 February 2008 21:08 (eighteen years ago)
Oh my God, that is hands down, the greatest flyer of all time.

― s1ocki, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 03:46 (eighteen years ago)
guess it's too late for that.
