“Sandcastles” Official Music Video

Leave a comment

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!

March 13, 2006: Music Tap by Matt Rowe

“Honey and Cool Jazz ‘n’ Rock: An interview with Ryan Lum and Anji Bee of Lovespirals”

Matt: Ryan – Anji’s voice is hauntingly memorable; her voice sticks in my mind long after I heard the songs. Are you as hypnotized by her ability to mesh with your vision of how Lovespirals songs should be communicated as we are hearing it?

Ryan: Yeah, it’s surprising how her voice just fits perfectly. I’m very lucky. Her voice has been as important as anything in the evolution of our music together.

Matt: Anji, obviously you are an excellent fit with Lovespirals. The forward progression of the band incorporates you better than many bands undergoing a shift in style. How do you feel your involvement with Lovespirals changes the band? Have you brought your own influences into the structure of the band’s musical vision?

Anji: It would be impossible for me not to bring my own influences into the band, since we are a collaborative team. I think I bring an earthier element to the music. My vocals are very lyrically based, as opposed to Suzanne’s more non-verbal stylings, and my sound is more soulful compared to her purely ethereal sound.

Free & Easy CD Liner Notes

Leave a comment

In the sprit of old jazz, blues, and bossa nova records, we thought we’d include a description of the album on the back cover of the CD written in that type of style. Here is the text:

Lovespirals are the very sound of life’s earthly joys and sorrows. Anji Bee’s voice shifts from little girl purity to breathy sensuality, then ascends gracefully to angelic heights, while Ryan Lum’s soulful electric guitar and groovy Rhodes piano weave tantalizing patterns of melodious harmony. Combining jazz, soul, and rock with modern electronica styles, Free & Easy lives up to it’s name in the genre-specific world of today’s music. In a time of rampant overproduction, Lovespirals bring organic sounds and old time song styling back into focus. No auto-tune was used in this recording, baby! Realizing the best of digital audio’s promise while preserving the heart and soul of their music is what Lovespirals do best; creating a smooth as silk hi-fidelity stereophonic sound. So sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy, as Anji and Ryan soothe your soul…
