The Troubadour, West Lost Angeles, September 21, 1995 

“One of the darlings of the innovating Projekt label, Love Spirals Downwards consists  of only 2 members. Given the swirling, multi-tracked ambience of their records, one  might expect their live show to have difficulty living up to such studio magic, even  with a requisite backing tape. But LSD took to the stage with only one instrument:  Ryan Lum’s six-stringed acoustic guitar. As they began, Suzanne’s angelic voice  floated out over the hushed audience. Trust me, no backing tape was needed. Stripped  down to this bare essence of chiming guitar and dazzling voice, LSD’s songs burned  with a raw, ethereal brilliance. Anyone who narrow-mindedly accuses them of being  simply studio musicians needs to be taken out back and whupped good. The set’s highlights included the lovely “Will You Fade” and “Write in Water,” taken from their latest  record Ardor. The audience showered them with wild acclaim after each songs, and  left fashionably disappointed when LSD ran out of songs to play.”
