After 21 years of an outdated bio, the All Music Guide Lovespirals page has been updated. The new band bio explains what the band has been up to for the past two decades and is a massive improvement. Since AMG is the primary source for artist bios used by music streaming services and websites, having no updates since 2002 gave the impression that we’d done nothing in all that time. Marcy Donelson did a fine job of giving a quick summary of our history in the first paragraph:

The duo of married couple Ryan Lum and Anji Bee (aka Anji Lum), Lovespirals’ sophisticated brand of dream pop is tinged with the sounds of jazzy sophisti-pop, soft rock, and soul as well as diversions into trip-hop, lounge, and house music. Formed around the turn of the millennium, they made their full-length debut with a slow-burning, eclectic blend of genre influences on the dreamy Windblow Kiss in 2002, while 2005’s Free & Easy merged the resulting sound with electronica and trip-hop. They honed their uniquely interdisciplinary dream pop on albums like 2007’s Long Way from Home and 2010’s Future Past, releasing more-club-minded material along the way before returning with their fifth album, the Cocteau Twins-inspired Life Goes On, in 2018. Two decades after their debut album, reverb-washed Lovespirals singles including “Smile” and “The Call” appeared in 2022.

Many sites and apps will leave it at that, but on AMG there’s an additional three paragraphs that go into further detail and demonstrate how much research went into the piece. So thankful for the time and energy put into this endeavor.
