Lovespirals will play on Saturday, March 25th, 2006 at Club Dada X in Mexico City, at 9 pm. The first show in support of their new album, Free & Easy – distributed in Mexico by Noise Kontrol – will also commemorate the club’s 7th anniversary. Ryan and Anji will perform a 1 hour set of songs from both Lovespirals albums, highlighting their soft, soulful, jazz and blues influenced material. The band will be available to autograph CDs after their set. CDs will be on sale at the event. (Show info via the above link)

A few reviews of our new album have been coming in.

Matt Rowe of MusicTap wrote: “Lovespirals’ evolutionary path has brought it down the road from gothic shoegazer pop to hypnotically provocative jazz that is, at once, sexy, sultry, and dreamy. Anji Bee possesses a voice of honey, and a natural element that adds colour and flame to songs, exploring realms of intensities in varying degrees. With Ryan Lum adding stylish guitar and keyboards to permeate the silky fabric of the new album, the lover of jazz in all of its incarnations will be quite entranced.” 

Ned Raggett of All Music Guide wrote: “Lovespirals here are much more in the creative vein of an act like the Thievery Corporation instead of the Cocteau Twins. Lum’s interest in DJing and techno can readily be heard throughout. Bee’s singing is a perfect counterpoint, a blend of classic mid-century jazz- pop flow and a bit of ’60s cool in a French or Brazilian sense — some low-key scatting here, some warm, playful crooning there.” 

John Evanstan of “Pop Stops” for The Star wrote: “The Southern California duo of Ryan Lum and Anji Bee bring to mind the cool, sensual jazz of Sade [with] their downbeat, sultry late-night sound. Lum plays a sedate electric guitar and gently jazzy Rhodes piano to back up Bee as she croons and seduces at the microphone. It’s a deliciously soothing combination.” 

Lovespirals’ song “Walk Away” from their upcoming album Free & Easy is included on the recent Disney/Buena Vista release of the WB Network’s Popular: Season 2 DVD. The original mix of this slow burning bluesy number is included in Episode #38, entitled “Fag.” Lovespirals are happy to be included in a program that attempts to tackle prejudices of all kinds.

Lovespirals will be playing a show next month with The Flir and several opening bands. This is their first performance since the 2002 Tour. Ryan and Anji — along with special guest guitarist, Rodney Rodriguez — will be doing an all-new set composed mainly of tracks from their upcoming album, Free & Easy. Copies of “Windblown Kiss” will be on hand for sale, which the band will gladly autograph. Come on out and get a sneak peek at what Lovespirals have been up to the past few years!
