“Misunderstood” Single Out Now

It’s the 25th anniversary of Love Spirals Downwards’ 1998 album, ‘Flux,’ and to celebrate, we released the ‘Flux Deluxe Edition’ on all digital platforms. In addition to the album’s original 9 songs, we included 13 bonus tracks. In addition to remixes, a live recording, and a number of previously unreleased outtakes, this epic 147 minute collection includes a brand new Lovespirals rendition of “I’ll Always Love You,” that we named “Misunderstood.” While searching the archives we came across some of the original samples used in the song which tempted Ryan to recreate his fave track from the ground up for 2023. We had a blast revisiting this classic song!

You can find “Misunderstood” on the Love Spirals Downwards’ ‘Flux Deluxe Edition’ album on all digital music platforms, or grab just the single from our Lovespirals Bandcamp account!

“Are You Lonely” Official Music Video

One more treasure unearthed from the Lovespirals archive! Back in 2014 while we were still writing and recording our song “Are You Lonely” from our 2018 album ‘Life Goes On,’ Anji filmed an impromptu music video. Earlier this day she had filmed a recipe demo for the duo’s Happy Healthy Vegan channel, so since she was dressed up and had the camera and lights set up, she just had a bit of fun with the 8mm video app. Anyway, nearly a decade later, here is the final completed music video for your viewing enjoyment!

“Are You Lonely” is from ‘Life Goes On’ by Lovespirals Buy an autographed copy of this CD directly from the band at http://lovespirals.bandcamp.com

“Dark Night of the Soul” Official Music Video

Music video for “Dark Night of the Soul” from our 2018 album, ‘Life Goes On.’ We spontaneously filmed this video on an iPhone while camping on Catalina Island — on the same exact cliff where Anji shot the album art photograph. We posted a short clip of this video to our socials back in Nov 2018 and a reel/short or two over the years but this is the first time we’re posting the full video.

This Is Lovespirals Spotify Playlist

Music streaming giant Spotify has finally created their official “This Is” playlist for Lovespirals! At nearly 3 hours in lengths, this rotating list of songs does a decent job of highlighting cuts from Lovespirals’ 25 year discography, including a collaboration or two. Be sure to mark your fave songs with a heart!

Lovespirals Featured on UnchainedTV

Award winning journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell recently launched a vegan focused multi-platform social media news outlet called UnchainedTV.

“Lonely Sunset” Single & Music Video

The perfect end of summer soundtrack, “Lonely Sunset” is a chill house song featuring gorgeously ethereal vocals and bittersweet melodies. It’s been a while since Anji and Ryan released a dance track but this ones worth the wait! 

Anji’s plaintive lyrics of lost love were penned and recorded a decade ago and might have made an amazing addition to the 2014 Anji Bee album the duo released as a side project. The late night laid back grooves of this new recording are reminiscent of Bee’s “Got All I Need” and “Try To Forget,” but with an added sheen of sophistication in the production. 

Lovespirals  have long straddled the line between dream pop and electronica, but this new track brings both worlds together in a glorious fusion. After the throwback retro shoegaze of the band’s last single, “The Call,” this new single is likely to surprise — but hopefully delight — Lovespirals listeners.  

Lovespirals “Lonely Sunset” single is out now on BandcampSpotifyApple MusicAmazon, and YouTube. Please stream, like, share, and add to your playlists to help get the word out!

“The Call” Single Out Now

After the deceptively light musical offerings of the 3-song ‘Smile – Single’ Lovespirals return with a darker hued single. “The Call” shares some of the retro-90’s shoe gazer/dream pop vibes of their 2018 album, ‘Life Goes On,’ highlighting the lush guitar work bandleader, Ryan Lum, has long been known for. His soaring solo could easily have been plucked from his 1994 Love Spirals Downwards album, ‘Ardor.’ Hypnotic bass and upbeat drums drive this melancholic song with an unexpected groove, while Anji Bee’s signature blend of earthy low voice and soaring ethereal harmonies lift your soul.

Answer the call… it’s a sweet surprise.

Released July 1, 2022 on all digital platforms including Bandcamp, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Mp3, Tidal, Pandora and Apple Music.

“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!
