After long consideration, we decided to do the ProjektFest Bazaar show. Ryan had hoped to just fool around and see Philly, but I think it would be good for us to play twice. We’ll get the chance to meet some of the fans and be more personable than we would be the first night, too. Sam hopes we’ll do a totally unique show, but I don’t see how we can with only one album. We sure can’t...

Our friend, the poet and lyricist, Alex Lang, was kind enough to write up a lovely little press piece on our upcoming album:
WINDBLOWN KISS is the first full-length album by LOVESPIRALS, the beautiful, and beautifully surprising collaboration of RYAN LUM (the driving force behind legendary LOVE SPIRALS DOWNWARDS) and avant-garde singer/songwriter ANJI BEE.
Renown multi-instrumentalist LUM once again creates...

Had our first real practice session yesterday. Made a few tweaks to the song lineup, and now we think we have something both comfortable and dynamic. After several run throughs we both felt nice ‘n’ loose. Ryan’s got quite a few guitar solos to perform, something he’s never really done in prior live shows, so he’s a bit nervous. We have yet to practice with Doron, who will be...

The newly pressed Ecstatic EP has been featured all week on the Ambient Drum ‘n’ Bass charts for MP3.com, helping to drive Lovespirals back up the charts again. Check out the newly added “Ecstatic (Radio Edit)” which was remastered for the new chill-out compilation, Cool Terrasse.

Trying to perfect our band bio before it goes to press. It is really hard to be objective about your own art! We ran into a friend at Gabe’s the other day who writes for the WB network and he offered to help out, but he’s been too busy this week to hook up. Hopefully we’ll still get a chance to work with him on this, because I think he could spruce it up some. Luckily we had Sean Flinn...

The Ecstatic EP has just been updated with new high quality 192 kbps files (as opposed to the old 128 kbps files) and new full-cover artwork featuring photography by Susan Jennings. Not only is the sound quality and appearance of the CD vastly improved, but an extra track has been added (the instrumental “Beatitude” featuring guest musicians Doron Orenstein and Gabriel D. Vine of Toof), bumping...

Now that we’re done redesigning the official website, as well as launching the Windblown Kiss press site (not to mention designing the album cover) it looks like its time to start practicing for Projekt Fest! Ryan’s pretty much gotten his stuff together, and I’ve more or less figured out which parts of the vocal harmonies I’ll sing, but we have yet to get together with Doron to play...

Tonight I really realized just how lucky we are to have awesome friends to work with! Dom and Susan have been so kind to grant us their immense visual talents for our site and album artwork, Sean and Doron were very generous to lend their tremendous musical talents to our album, Robert was a dream to work with on mastering… We also had friends lend us equipment — thanks John and Todd! Plus I...
