You should check out the pre-lp singles as well, they are totally lush and funky

Those are the ones, yep - I sometimes think "The Rhythm Touch" is the best thing he's put his hand to.

Really good album, this. Fifteen years! Christ.
I misread the opening post as "Piers Morgan co-produced it".

I had no idea that 15 years ago Kelley was an ILXor
And I am delighted to learn that he used “lyrics that were originally copped from an old star wars comic book circa 1983 and then got slightly changed because they were just a little too over the top homoerotic“

Disappointed that this revive wasn’t about a forthcoming release though
I saw this and be still my heart, I also thought a new release was forthcoming.

!!That's a lovely bio/interview. Never knew that Polar is related to Russom! Songs are great, "Savage" does indeed remind me of The System. Looking forward to the album.

Cool!
I went record shopping with Geist once the night after he did a DJ set, and got a truly great K2 Edit 12" which is apparently somewhat sought after. He was great to talk to, and pointed me toward some neat things.

Kelley Polar could use a compilation / box set for various bits and pieces. The Quartet 12”s are really good and would make a nice 2LP collection. Think the last two albums didn’t get vinyl releases at all. Had to get 2 janky promos for the Love Songs tracks.

in a lovely twist of fate this weekend i heard a dj play “The Rooms In My House Have Many Parties” at a club night — and then spent a plane ride listening to the Au Suisse album, which came out Friday. It’s amazing! Anyone listening?
