As one half of the groundbreaking IDM duo
Blectum from Blechdom,
Blevin Blectum (aka
Bevin Kelley) began her electronic production career at Mills College, where she partnered with
Kevin Blechdom (aka
Kristin Erikson) to form and develop their unique project. After several award-winning releases, the two went their separate ways in 2002 and
Blectum released her first solo effort,
Talon Slalom, later that year, followed two years later by
Magic Maple. A couple months prior to the 2008 release Gular Flutter,
Blectum and
Blechdom announced their realignment, and the two played a series of dates in early 2009 throughout Europe. Throughout the years,
Blectum has also been active as a member of the audiovisual band Sagan alongside fellow experimental producers J. Lesser (her husband),
Wobbly, and Ryan Junell. Her brother is violinist and post-disco producer
Kelley Polar (aka
Mike Kelley). ~ Rob Theakston
