DJ Bryan, of “The Witching Hour: on WRSU, New Jersey, was sweet enough to including this quip in his weekly playlist:
“Windblown Kiss has got to be my favorite release from Ryan Lum. Even the DJ who spins house music before my show liked what he heard. He described it as ‘seductive’.”
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside…

Lovespirals – Windblown Kiss (Projekt): Love Spirals Downwards remove the “Downwards,” dispense with the electronic beats of Flux, and change the singer, but remain as ethereally innocuous as ever, if a bit more eclectic. — Angry Robot
Pretty much to the point, eh? I looked up “innocuous” just to make sure that there actually is a positive use for it. Ha ha!
Lovespirals are included on the new compilation CD,
Blisscent Vol. 1, which
showcases Indie, Dream Pop, and Shoegazer acts
popular on the underground radio show, Blisscent.
We leave tommarrow for ProjektFest! I’m still fussing with last minute packing, but I’m almost there…. Wish us luck!
I’ve been thinking that it would be nice to do a few short tours to support the album. We could try to set up small West Coast and East Coast tours, plus a show or two in Mexico, at the very least… No idea how we’d go about booking it, though. I wonder if we should try to travel with another Projekt band or two, or just go it solo? We’ll have to talk to everybody at ProjektFest, to see what they think!
Projekt is now accepting pre-orders for

Had our first real practice session yesterday. Made a few tweaks to the song lineup, and now we think we have something both comfortable and dynamic. After several run throughs we both felt nice ‘n’ loose. Ryan’s got quite a few guitar solos to perform, something he’s never really done in prior live shows, so he’s a bit nervous. We have yet to practice with Doron, who will be handling several solos for us on sax, so that should be exciting to hear. So far, though, so good. 5 more weeks to go!
