Lovespirals “Misunderstood” Out Now

Leave a comment

It’s the 25th anniversary of Love Spirals Downwards’ 1998 album, ‘Flux,’ and to celebrate, Ryan and I released the ‘Flux Deluxe Edition’ on all digital platforms. In addition to the 9 original songs, we’ve included 13 additional tracks (14, if you count the Bandcamp only bonus song). 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 call “Misunderstood.” While searching the archives Ryan came across some of the original samples used in the song which tempted him to recreate his fave track from the ground up for 2023. We had a blast revisiting this classic song together!

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!

Lonely Sunset Single & Music Video Out Now!

Leave a comment

At long last, one of my favorite songs has been official released! Its been ages since my I dropped a house track, especially as “Lovespirals,” so I’m extra excited for everyone to hear this one.

Lovespirals “Lonely Sunset” 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 Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and YouTube. Please stream, like, share, and add to your playlists to help get the word out!

Check out the Lonely Sunset lyrics page for the full behind the song story.

“The Call” Single by Lovespirals Out Now

Leave a comment

Anji’s duo, Lovespirals, dropped a moody new single on all digital music platforms.

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.

Buy a download of “The Call” in your choice of digital format plus a copy of the music video from https://lovespirals.bandcamp.com. Stream “The Call” by Lovespirals on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Mp3, Tidal, Pandora or your fave digital music service. Share “The Call” on your Instagram Reels or TikTok videos to help spread the word!

"Smile" from Lovespirals 'Smile - Single' 2022

Drop me a line 
Send me a sign 
A little something 
Let me know that you’re alive  

But keep it on the down low 
(Down low) 
I said keep it on the down low
(Down low) 
Just keep it on the down low  
(Down low) 
Gotta keep it on the down low 
(Down low)  

Write me a text 
Baby I’m vexed
I don’t know what’s going on now 
But what can I expect said we’d  

Keep it on the down low 
(Down low) 
We said keep it on the down low 
(Down low) 
Just keep it on the down low  
(Down low)
Gotta keep it on the down low 
(Down low)  
Keep it on the down low 
(Down low) 
I said keep it on the down low 
(Down low) 
Just keep it on the down low  
(Down low) 
Gotta keep it on the down low
(Down low) 
On the down low 
(Down low) 
(Down low)

"Smile" from Lovespirals 'Smile - Single' 2022

I been having a hard time lately 
If I’m honest it’s been quite awhile 
But I keep it mostly to myself, yeah
I just nod and smile 

My smile may be pretty but it’s 
All filled with lies 
And you if look closely, see it 
Doesn’t reach my eyes 

Ha ahh ahh oh ooh smile 
Hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh smile 

I been really going thru it lately
 I wasn’t honest, I was in denial 
Should’ve asked for help but instead 
I just nod and smile 

My smile may be pretty but it’s 
All filled with lies 
And you if look closely, see it 
Doesn’t reach my eyes 

Smile 
Smile 
Smile 
Smile 
Ha ahh ahh oh ooh smile 
Hoo ooh ooh hoo ooh ooh ooh

Lovespirals “Spinning Circles” Music Video

Leave a comment

An official music video for the song “Spinning Circles” from our ‘Life Goes On’ album is out now on the Lovespirals YouTube channel.

Lovespirals “Spinning Circles” filmed and edited by Anji Bee.

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 edit them together for this fun must video that contrasts black and white and super 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!
