For over three decades, Ryan Lum has been the visionary force behind the captivating and ever-evolving musical project known as both Love Spirals Downwards and Lovespirals. As a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, Lum has consistently crafted a signature sound that transports listeners to ethereal realms filled with lush textures, intricate melodies, and profound emotion.

From the groundbreaking, atmospheric soundscapes of the 1990s to the genre-blending explorations of the 2000s and beyond, Lum’s music has continuously evolved with innovation and heartfelt expression.. His compositions seamlessly weave together elements of dream pop, shoegaze, electronica, jazz-infused indie, and even Americana, always anchored by a deep understanding of mood and atmosphere.

Originally launched as Love Spirals Downwards on Projekt Records with Suzanne Perry, the band evolved into Lovespirals around the turn of the millennium with the arrival of Anji Bee and the launch of their Chillcuts label—a shift that marked a bold new chapter in their sound. Together, Lum and Bee have forged a remarkable partnership, creating a rich catalog of music that resonates with both longtime devotees and a new generation of listeners discovering their unique sound.

With an unwavering independent spirit, Ryan Lum has consistently maintained full creative control— recording, mixing, producing and often mastering his own work. This dedication extends to meticulously preserving his extensive back catalog, with remastered and expanded reissues of the classic Love Spirals Downwards albums ensuring that these influential recordings continue to inspire.

In recent years, Ryan has once again embraced the Love Spirals Downwards moniker for a series of new singles, a move that reflects a desire to unify his expansive body of work and connect with the evolving landscape of music consumption. These new tracks beautifully blend the classic ethereal elements that defined his early work with a contemporary sonic sensibility, proving that his creative spark remains as vibrant as ever.

Whether you’re drawn to the ethereal beauty of Love Spirals Downwards or the genre-blurring artistry of Lovespirals, Ryan Lum’s music invites you into a world of passion, innovation, and timeless emotion.
