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!
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!
Lovespirals are featured on a new album. “Tim Where Are You Now?” by Sam Rosenthal of Black Tape for a Blue Girl was created to honor what would have been the 100th birthday of Tim Leary this month. It’s a collaborative album packed full of special guests including Lovespirals’ Anji Bee and Ryan Lum (on tracks 6 & 8). “PSY PHI love means High Fidelity” pulls vocal inspiration from the original Star Trek series theme song, and musical inspiration from the classic exotica lounge albums of that same era. This song also features special guests Byron Metcalf and Martin Bowes. The CD is available on Bandcamp, where you can opt to purchase a digital download on the “Name Your Price” deal (meaning you can pay $0 if you want…), and it’s also available to stream on all digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.
I am super proud to present the latest Lovespirals song!
Lovespirals “Why Not Today?” Music Video
Extremely chill vibes with super smooth production, “Why Not Today?” pulls from from Lovespirals’ 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 video is a lovely reminder of the healing power of nature, even in this time of human disconnection and unease. I created the music video, as well as wrote the lyrics, performed the vocals, and aided in the songwriting and production.
A new digital release called Connected (Single) is now available. This collaborative song from Anji Bee features simple mantra a of a lyric that was inspired by the fledgling podcasting community back in 2008. The song idea resurfaced in 2010 for the Creative Commons community, and now in 2020, it’s up on Bandcamp for the first time as a message for the whole world.
We are connected.
You can read more about the 3 versions of “Connected” (acapella, Ghost4Hire mix and Fave Nitemare mix) on the individual song pages of the Anji Bee Bandcamp account. This is a Bandcamp EXCLUSIVE.
A cool remix of my classic song “Goodbye” has been released on the new ‘Start Again… Remix Album‘ by The Morphism. This mix by Keurich is definitely tougher sounding than the original 2000 recording created by Moondawg and I for our Dreamzone 51 project, or the better known version created with Rom Di Prisco for Bitstream Dream in 2001. Even though I had rerecorded my vocals for Bitstream Dream, The Morphism version utilized even newer recordings — with an added chorus refrain, bridge, and outro –which is what’s sampled for this remix. Hard to believe sometimes how long I have been doing music for. It’s nice to know that some folks out there still enjoy my early work! Thanks to both producers for making this happen.
“Goodbye (Keurich Remix” by The Morphism and Anji Bee is also available on Apple Music.
At long last Lovespirals‘ 5th album is finally out! Buy/stream/listen on all your favorite sites or buy it directly from Ryan and I on our Bandcamp store. Limited edition 4-panel eco-wallet CDs with a matching pin are still available at the time of writing. You can also check out ‘Life Goes On’ via Pandora and give a thumbs up to your fave tracks!
“Stunning… Gorgeous… Some of Ryan Lum’s best work as a songwriter and musician.. Haunting and ethereal. Absolutely Anji Bee’s most nuanced vocals… beautiful and sultry.” — Matt Rowe, MusicTAP
The Morphism just released a new album dedicated to Canadian composer Saki Kaskamanidis (aka Captain Ginger) who sadly passed away in late 2016. Living Generation is an old-school electronics and rock album that takes one back to the time of the original Sony PlayStation and classic Need For Speed games. Anton Gagarin of The Morphism founded the “Romulus Club” Internet community in 2010 to promote and work of Rom Di Prisco and Bitstream Dream, whom Saki and Anji were both a part of. He’s done an excellent job of keeping the old content alive, as well as continuing the collaborative project’s legacy with new projects like this. The 15 track album includes his versions of Anji Bee’s classic Bitstream Dream songs “Love Me Leave Me” and “Good Bye.” While the former had previously been released, the latter is an exclusive to this LP and features totally new vocal recordings with additional lyrics. You can read the more about history of this song on the “Good Bye” lyrics page.
