Out now on YouTube is the official music video for the new single by Lovespirals, “The Call.” This dreamy video was filmed entirely in and around the band’s hometown of Long Beach, CA, shot and edited by Anji with some post production by Ryan. So many great spots to see sunsets from!
“Down Low” Official Music Video
Ryan and I just posted the official music video for “Down Low” from our 3-song ‘Smile – Single’ to YouTube. This midnight vibes video highlights our own downtown Long Beach for a moody change of pace. This is the first time Lovespirals have created a music video for every song on a release, and we’re pretty excited about it.
Lovespirals ‘Smile – Single’ featuring “Down Low” is available for digital download in your choice of audio format from https://lovespirals.bandcamp.com
Listen to Lovespirals on your favorite audio streaming service including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, or YouTube. See our official website at https://lovespirals.com
“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!

Pandora Adds ‘Life Goes On’ To Library
The popular music discovery site, Pandora, has added our new album, ‘Life Goes On,’ to its music library. This is a nice surprise, as they had previously rejected our 2010 album, ‘Future Past,’ returning our package unopened, with a cryptic note that they already had too much of “this genre” in their collection. We were pretty shocked that they felt there were too many albums which combined the sound of female fronted trip hop and chillout with the sounds of guitar-heavy classic rock ala Pink Floyd, but hey, maybe we were just ignorant of how mainstream our music was at the time? (Yeah, right…) Anyway, we’re more than happy to let bygones be bygones, as the service has seen fit to add the latest Lovespirals album to their library, which also includes our 3 albums prior to ‘Future Past,’ as well as a 2012 remix EP. Who knows? Maybe one day they’ll even add in that missing 4th album to have the complete set.
Check out Lovespirals ‘Life Goes On’ via Pandora and give a thumbs up to your fave tracks

Life Goes On Preview On MusicTap
MusicTap made a little write up about our very soon to be released album.
Since 1992, the genesis of the current Lovespirals began a recording career as Love Spirals Downward (Ryan Lum and Suzanne Perry). After four exquisite recordings (Idylls – 1992, Ardor – 1994, Ever – 1996, Flux – 1998), all on Projekt Records. After a short hiatus, the band regathered with a new vocalist by the name of Anji Bee, and released four additional excellent sets (Windblown Kiss – 2002, Free & Easy – 2005, Long Way From Home – 2007, Future Past – 2010) as Lovespirals. After a long, long break from recording as a duo (Anji Bee released a solo album, Love Me Leave Me, back in 2013), the Lovespirals iteration will deliver their fifth album, Life Goes On.

“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.
