We’ve nearly completed our next album, tentatively titled “Free & Easy.” So far we have 9 tracks recorded and mixed, totalling 48 minutes. You can hear mp3 clips on our newly updated audio page.

Our prior album, “Windblown Kiss,” is now available through iTunes. You can also buy a cut-out copy from us via CDBaby for the bargain price of just $8.99. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lovespirals

Last.fm is now offering a 192kbps mp3 download of our out-of-print “Ecstatic EP.” The 6 track EP is a whopping 40 minutes long. http://www.last.fm/music/Lovespirals

Anji contributed vocals and lyrics for 2 songs (“Smoke” & “Love Me, Leave Me”) on the brand new Bitstream Dream CD, “Integration.” http://www.bitstreamdream.com

I’ve been contacting local musicians to put together a live band for future Lovespirals gigs. This should be an exciting new development for the promotion of the next album!

Apple is now selling Lovespirals’ 2002 album, Windblown Kiss,
and Love Spirals Downwards’ 2000 retrospective compilation,
Temporal: A Collection of Music Past & Present, in their iTunes
music store. You can purchase either individual songs or the entire
album. 

Pat Ogle has released the second volume of his new zine/CD series. Guest List: Precipice Vol. 2 features Lovespirals’ song “Love Survives,” alongside “rare, one of a kind unreleased, and out-take tracks” from Darling Kandie, Angela Bowie-Barnett, Thanatos, Buzz McCoy, Grove Mann, illegalteenagebikini, Queen Mary, mmnpltr, X-VoreteX, Dendron, Chris Connelly with William Tucker, Numb Ones, Prime Rib, Nikekka RPM, and Cinematik.

Lovespirals have joined CNET’s new music.download.com. The band is currently featured as the editor’s pick for 5/6/2004, highlighting “Love Survives” with the following editorial commentary:

The smooth grooves conjure comparisons to Portishead and Everything But the Girl. Combining jazzy torch-song vocal stylings with modern trip-hop sounds and rhythms, Lovespirals craft an infectious and exotic down-tempo sound that you might hear playing in an upscale New York club or Parisian underground lounge. 

Wow, what a great week we had in Mexico. Thank you to everyone who came to see us in Leon, Morelia, and Puebla. And very big thanks all of the show producers and especially Aldo, our tour manager! This was by far the busiest of the several times I had played in Mexico before, having to travel several hours each day to get to the next city in time for radio and television interviews followed by soundchecks. We were lucky if we could get five hours of sleep each night. But the enthusiastic crowds every show energized us for some of our best performances yet. We’ll be back!
