With Kelley Polar's masterful debut "Love Songs of The Hanging Gardens" still blowing minds worldwide after its release in November of last year, Environ proudly presents the second (and FINAL) limited-edition vinyl sampler from the album. Polar has carefully crafted modern, beautiful and personal songs from and for the heart and mind - a perfect amalgam of elegant pop songwriting, studio trickery and real, honest performance. Adding further depth to the aural experience, Morgan Geist (Metro Area, Unclassics) has produced and mixed the songs with Polar. With the album CD-only and the first volume of the album sampler sold out the day it was released, vinyl enthusiasts and DJs should hop on this second 12" super quick! DJs have been begging for these tracks on vinyl and Environ is happy to oblige. On the A-side, a special, extended Long Version of the album stormer "Here In The Night" kicks things off in style - this is an exclusive version for this 12" release and is not included on the album! Next is the cosmic party jam "The Rooms In My House Have Many Parties." The B-side contains the Prelude-boogie-meets-Beach-Boys-vox "Ashamed of Myself" as well as the romantic, melancholy masterpiece titled "In Time." A world-renowned classical violist, Polar defied the player piano conformism typical of his classmates at Julliard Music School early on. A musical free-thinker along the lines of Arthur Russell, Polar was always creatively restless, first leading a 40-piece live disco orchestra in Ohio and later scoring film in NYC. Before long, he became the power behind the Kelley Polar Quartet, providing signature live string arrangements for the innovative Metro Area project and releasing several sizzling-hot 12" records on Environ. All along, Polar had a penchant for the highest ideals of innovative pop and dance music from all eras, and the culmination of this passion can be heard on "Love Songs of the Hanging Gardens," with influences ranging from Brahms to The Beach Boys, space disco to early Stevie Wonder, with gentle flutters of Gil Scott-Heron and Kraftwerk, Bedouin singing and Ultravox... Welcome to the world of Kelley Polar!
