Back From Our San Francisco Trip
Once again, we had a blast with Karmacoda! It was an honor for Anji to share the stage with them for their epic remix of “Motherless Child,” and fun for Ryan to do a DJ set for the Harlot crowd. A few of the songs for the upcoming Anji Bee album were shared for the first time, which was exciting. Local friends came out to hang. Good times!
Love Remixes EP Out Now
The first single from Lovespirals’ fourth album, Future Past, to get the full remix treatment is “Love” – an atmospheric drum ‘n’ bass tune that recalls some of the duo’s earliest work together. A half dozen producers from different musical schools of thought set Anji Bee‘s poppy yet ethereal vocals to completely new musical scores. From angular drum ‘n’ bass, to lush downtempo, to atmospheric ambient music, this moody collection covers a lot of sonic ground. And Anji’s Chillcast listeners should be familiar with most — if not all — of the contributing producers which includes: Chill Factor-5, 7 Day Visa, Divasonic, Soul Whirling Somewhere, Xurba and Falling You (who, btw, created the only mix which contains Ryan Lum‘s original guitar solo.) Purchase the full EP or individual tracks friTunes, Amazon Mp3, CDbaby, eMusic, Rhapsody, or Bandcamp
3 Remix EPs Now on Bandcamp
Lovespirals are now offering more material on their new Bandcamp account, which allows users to purchase music in whichever digital format they prefer for an extremely low price. Fans can now pick up the duo’s first-ever set of remixes from contests held by Peace Love Productions in 200 and 2007, plus the 2007 “Motherless Child” set of remixes created by friends of the band Karmacoda, MoShang, Hungry Lucy, Chris Caulder of Beauty’s Confusion, and Drew Pluta formerly of Arcanta.
Bandcamp offers all releases in a variety of formats including 320k MP3, AAC, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, and ALAC files. They also allow the buyer to choose their price, so if you think the suggested price is too modest, feel free to “tip” Lovespirals with an extra buck or two. Buy single tracks or full albums, the choice is yours over at lovespirals.bandcamp.com!
Thank you San Francisco!
We had a great time in San Francisco. Our show with Karmacoda went well and so many friends showed up to support us including Susan Jennings — who did all the photography for ‘Future Past‘ (as well as our debut album, ‘Windblown Kiss‘), plus musical friends, Ashleigh Niblock, John Zorko, Dru Allen, Eric Shied, and our old pal, Al Chang. I’m sure I’m forgetting folks… It was fun to perform in such an intimate setting with a relaxed atmosphere plus the lighting and decor were so cool. We went with an electric guitar and vocal combo, rather than acoustic, which added some dimension to our stripped down set. We’ll be sure to post some video to our YouTube channel. For now, here’s a few shots from the night sent to us by various folks.
Future Past Now on iTunes, CDbaby & Bandcamp
Lovespirals’ new album, Future Past, was just released this week on the iTunes Music Store. Individual songs are available in non-DRM 256k AAC for $.99 each or you can buy the full album for $9.99. Though the official album release date was January 1st, the band offered digipac CDs and digital downloads over the 2009 holiday season exclusively through the Lovespirals Webstore. Now CDBaby and Bandcamp are offering Future Past in both CD and digital download formats, and more stores will be following soon!

Buy Future Past digipak for $12.98 direct from Lovespirals (includes immediate digital download)
Future Past will also be distributed via Projekt Records, CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody and all the usual online music sources, but the band wanted to make the album available to fans as soon as possible. As an independent band, it is difficult to schedule simultaneous release on all platforms, so those will be trickling in over the next few months. Please join the Lovespirals mailing list to keep up with the latest news, events, and more.
Future Past CD Coming Soon
Lovespirals’ long awaited 4th full-length album,, Future Past, will be available for sale Tuesday November 17 exclusively on lovespirals.com, with iTunes, eMusic, Amazon etc to follow soon.

Lovespirals Spotted at Club Violaine
Joe of drunkrockers.com caught a few shots of Ryan and Anji of Lovespirals at the Club Violaine 5 Year Anniversary party with formers members of The Von Trapps Nick Marshall, Rodney Rodriguez, and Matt Gleason. Rodney and Matt both played with Melodyguild for a time, and Matt is featured on the Aitu release. You can see the full set of photos from the show in the DrunkRockers Violaine Archive.
Lovespirals Guest DJ Auralgasms
In case you didn’t hear the band’s 1 hour guest spot on Auralgasms Radio last night, don’t cry! While you did miss out on a fun chat session in the Auralgasms chatroom with Lovespirals, you can still hear a pristine archival copy of the show. Ryan and Anji chat between each song, giving not only track information, but a little insight into the music and musicians involved. Our set seemed to be a hit with the live listeners, so hopefully you’ll love it, too! BTW, this was the world premier of the SWS remix of “This Truth.”
