“Spinning Circles” Official Music Video
An official music video for the song “Spinning Circles” from our ‘Life Goes On’ album is out now on the Lovespirals YouTube channel.
Over the past 2-3 years I’ve been filming various scenes I thought would work well with the lyrical concept and I finally took the time to put together a fun music video that contrasts black and white and vivid colorful scenes. The parasol scenes were shot on Laguna Beach during the performance of ‘The Shoreline Project’ by artist Elizabeth Turk. We had randomly been on site just as 1000 people converged for this performance piece, and it was quite surreal! The carousel and teacups ride scenes were both shot at Disneyland, and the stupa scene was shot at Maui Dharma Center in Paia.
Hope this video makes you smile!

“Life Goes On” Official Music Video
To celebrate the start of a new year, Anji put together a music video for the title track of the latest Lovespirals album, “Life Goes On,” featuring some of the peaceful moments filmed over the past 12 tumultuous months. Here’s hoping this new year is better than the last!

“Why Not Today?” Single and Video Out Now
Lovespirals’ soulful new single, “Why Not Today?” is now available on Bandcamp! The download of our single ALSO includes this brand new music video, shot at gorgeous Crystal Cove beach here in Southern California. With extremely chill vibes and super smooth production, “Why Not Today?” pulls from our r&b/soul side with a little jazz and blues twist. Melancholic, dreamy, and filled with soft yearning for a better time and place, the accompanying video is a lovely reminder of the healing power of nature, even in this time of human disconnection and unease. We hope this single will bring you some joy!

You can download in any (or all) of the following formats on Bandcamp: MP3 V0, MP3 320, FLAC, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, ALAC, WAV, AIFF.
“Motherless Child” Official Music Video
The first single from Lovespirals’ 2007 album, ‘Long Way From Home,’ was a heart-rending ethereal blues cover of the anonymous American spiritual, “Motherless Child.” It also appears on the ‘Motherless Child EP‘ released September 16, 2007. Anji filmed the scenes for this music video on a road trip to Sonoma County, California.
The ‘Motherless Child EP’ is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp and other online music stores.
“Heartstrings” Single & Music Video Out Now
Part Dream Pop, part Americana, the new single from Lovespirals is considerably more upbeat than “Brother Against Brother,” the first single. Ryan juxtaposes driving blues riffs and dreamy shoegazer guitar, finding a delicious balance between his earlier Love Spirals Downwards work and more recent Lovespirals work. Anji’s vocals exude the confidence born from years of familiarity with the material, with a lovely harmony of her natural earthy tone and haunting upper register.
“Heartstrings” is a lovely high point in the tracklisting for Lovespirals’ upcoming 5th album. The song is a celebration of the duo’s creative connection and the love that goes into Ryan and Anji’s music. The music video, created by the band themselves, is a beautiful representation of the song, shot during the height of California wildflower season. With 3 years of experience shooting, editing and producing videos for their YouTube channel, Happy Healthy Vegan, this creative couple have created what is surely their best and most professional looking music video to date.
Buy the new single & music video on Lovespirals’ Bandcamp to help fund the band’s upcoming 5th album
“Sandcastles” Official Music Video
Enjoy this new video for “Sandcastles,” the epic closing track to Lovespirals’ album, ‘Free and Easy.’ Enjoy two gorgeous sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, shot at the pristine So Cal beach, Crystal Cove. The first sunset was shot from down on the beach, while the second one was filmed from up on the bluff. The second sunset is the most amazing technicolor sky Anji and Ryan have ever experienced, and it really brings the gospel like chorus and electric guitar solo of the end 3rd of this song to life!
MUSIC: “Sandcastles” by Lovespirals From the album, ‘Free & Easy’ (2005) Available at http://lovespirals.bandcamp.com Or iTunes, Amazon, Google Play or Spotify
“Brother Against Brother” Single & Music Video Out Now
The first new single from Lovespirals since their 2010 album, ‘Future Past,’ is in many regards a return to form for band founder, Ryan Lum. Lum exploded onto the American dream pop scene back in 1991 as Love Spirals Downwards on the Projekt Records label, quickly establishing himself as one of the best ethereal producers and guitarists this side of the Atlantic. “Brother Against Brother” is swirling, ambient, folk-tinged dream pop replete with heavily effected ethereal guitar and female vocals by his bandmate, Anji Bee.
Buy the 2-song single at http://lovespirals.bandcamp.com
Bee created this appropriately heavenly video filled with fluffy slo-mo clouds and the duo dressed like angels in all-white using her iPhone and Final Cut Pro. Each member selfied their own performance in the video.
“Breath Of Life” Official Music Video
The B-side to Lovespirals’ new single, “Brother Against Brother,” is a dreamy, mystical, ambient guitar and vocal piece that was originally written for the opening sequence of a documentary film of the same name about the Mauli Ola Foundation by Michael Squier. The version of the song offered here has been slightly updated with additional vocals, guitar, and new production. The amazing time lapse video sequences were all shot by Michael Squier, some of which appeared in his film of the same name.
Buy the ‘Brother Against Brother’ 2-song single or the full album, ‘Life Goes On,’ featuring this song on CD or as a digital download on the Lovespirals Bandcamp page.
New Video for Lovespirals' "Aspenglow"
Lovespirals “Aspenglow” from Excelsis Vol. 3
Brand new video for Lovespirals’ cover of the wintry John Denver song, “Aspen Glow,” recorded for the 2001 Projekt holiday comp, ‘Excelsis Vol. 3: A Prelude.’ It was also included on the 2002 Hot Topic Holiday comp, ‘A Dark Noel: The Very Best of Excelsis.’
MusicTap writes: “Lovespirals gives us “Aspen Glow”, a song borrowed from John Denver and sweetly sung in as good a version as you’ll ever hear by the beautiful Anji Bee, who’s voice is as charming as a winter scene that you become lost in. Ryan and Anji’s respect for the season is deeply felt. This track has become one of my favorite seasonal songs.”
