Love Spirals Downwards’ sole single release was the maxi-CD, Sideways Forest, released by Projekt Records in 1996. The 2017 digital-only reissue contains the original title track, the Quantum Remix, and the b-side “Amarillo,” plus two additional versions of “Sideways Forest” that were previously unreleased.

“After two albums of layered, interwoven textures evoking dreamlike states of consciousness, Love Spirals Downwards emerge with a distillation of their sumptuous sound on their single ‘Sideways Forest.’ Triggered by the group’s experiences playing live with a more stripped down, acoustic set, on “Sideways Forest” we hear the intrinsic beauty of simple, flowing guitar melody and a lone, singular voice, beckoning listening listeners to embellish the sound in their own minds. The “Quantum Remix” deconstructs these acoustic elements and rebuilds from the song’s foundation, adding sampled and electronic patterns, morphing them into a euphoric journey into trip-ambience. The disc concludes with the instrumental “Amarillo,” echoing themes hinted at on “Sideways Forest,” while uniting the group’s acoustic elements and flowing, open atmospherics.”
