Lovespirals “Drift Begins” Single & Video

Lovespirals’ final single of 2025, “Drift Begins,” drifts into a liminal, windswept mood built on soft piano, ethereal pads, and shimmering guitar. Drawing from Ryan Lum’s early ’90s Projekt-era palette—including the same vintage drum machine he used on his first albums—the track blends nostalgic textures with modern production. Its stately 6/86/8 pulse, misty imagery, Ryan’s emotive Gilmour-leaning solo, and Anji’s airy, Floyd-evoking vocal phrasing nod to mid-period Pink Floyd, while her luminous two-part harmonies and intertwined high/low registers add a dream-pop ache reminiscent of Slowdive and Mojave 3.

“Drift Begins” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and other streaming platforms under the original band name, Love Spirals Downwards, as well as on Bandcamp under both LSD and Lovespirals.
