Lovespirals 3rd CD Due in 2007!

Leave a comment

Anji and Ryan are currently recording music for their upcoming 3rd album to be released later this year. Tentatively titled, Long Way From Home, the album futher explores Lovespirals’ unique brand of blues, folk, and jazz influenced dream pop — more akin to the band’s debut 2002 release, Windblown Kiss, than their electronica focused 2005 CD, Free & Easy. Discussions are underway as to whether the band will self-release on their own Chillcuts label or partner up with an indie label for a co-release. Either way, Lovespirals intend to make music available for podcasters, music bloggers, and internet radio as they have done with all previous releases.

Stay tuned to lovespirals.com – particularly to the band podcast, Chillin’ with Lovespirals – for developing details!
