“Used To Be” Digital Single

Leave a comment

Lovespirals return with their third new song of 2024 , “Used To Be,” a captivating track that intertwines 90s-inspired dream pop and electronica with unexpected hints of soulfulness. Evoking the early Love Spirals Downwards era, Ryan combines atmospheric textures, acoustic strums, and a goth-tinged guitar hook, building to an epic solo that closes the song with emotive resonance. Anji’s expressive blend of earthy and ethereal vocals, layered with harmonies, brings the song’s emotional depth to life. The result is an immersive, haunting, and reflective soundscape, pairing raw lyrical honesty with lush instrumentation.

“Used To Be” is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, Pandora, Juno Music, and TIDAL now and will soon be available on Apple and more digital music services.

“Not Myself” Digital Single

Leave a comment

Lovespirals’ new single, “Not Myself,” is a nostalgic nod to the band’s early millennium chillout sound. In contrast to the darker and more despairing vibe of “Noumenon,” “Not Myself” invites quiet meditation with its minimalist lyrics that exploring themes of self-identity, set against dreamy, slightly jazzy yet ambient soundscapes and soft beats. The perfect soundtrack for late summer moving into early autumn. 🍂

Available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and Bandcamp.

“This Ain’t Love (Lovespirals Remix)” Released By Projekt

Leave a comment

Check out “This Ain’t Love (Lovespirals Remix)” on the brand new Projekt Records release by Alan Elettronico, ‘Electronic Mind (Deluxe Edition).’ I had a lot of fun working on this mix with Anji and am excited that both the artist and label like it enough to make it the main single on both Bandcamp and Spotify. It’s good to be back with a new song after a long break.

Opus Zine Reviews ‘Flux Deluxe’ Digital LP

Leave a comment

Jason Moore wrote a mostly positive review of the original Projekt Records release ‘Flux,’ back in 2000 (“Love Spirals Downwards have released an album that’s incredibly listenable and quite beautiful”), and now he’s back to cover the new ‘Deluxe Edition’ two plus decades later:

Lum has remastered and reissued Flux along with a number of bonus tracks, including outtakes, remixes, and live performances. Which is a perfect way to discover one of my favorite Projekt releases, an album that I often turn to when I need to chill out and bliss out at the same time.
