Initially known for providing the strings on tracks by <a href="spotify:artist:3KTzs16kNylBR78QZSkiyx">Metro Area</a> ("The Art of Hot," "Caught Up," "Miura") and <a href="spotify:artist:3KTzs16kNylBR78QZSkiyx">Metro Area</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:3rheA53cr3B53FI9xbn4x7">Morgan Geist</a> ("24K"), Kelley Polar (last name first, adjective last; real name: Mike Kelley, the brother of <a href="spotify:artist:1rDcNidVqmbYisZ7oUDRu0">Blevin Blectum</a>) began releasing a series of 12" singles in 2002. Released on Environ and featuring assistance from label head <a href="spotify:artist:3rheA53cr3B53FI9xbn4x7">Geist</a>, 2002's Audition, 2003's Recital, and 2004's Rococo were somewhat similar to <a href="spotify:artist:3KTzs16kNylBR78QZSkiyx">Metro Area</a>'s singles -- in detail, inspiration, and basic construction -- but different enough to avoid redundancy. In 2005, Kelley took an abrupt turn and came up with Love Songs of the Hanging Gardens, a ten-song, 40-minute album rooted in pop, featuring his vocals throughout. He followed it with 2008's I Need You to Hold on While the Sky Is Falling, which was even more ambitious and idiosyncratic. <a href="spotify:artist:3rheA53cr3B53FI9xbn4x7">Geist</a>'s Double Night Time and <a href="spotify:artist:39x9e2QDpAxK8xTuJDwRqR">Junior Boys</a>' Begone Dull Care both featured his input. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
