Michael Toland reviews “Windblown Kiss”
The first word that comes to mind on hearing Lovespirals’ Windblown Kiss is sultry. Singer Anji Bee has a seductive coo in her full-bodied voice that immediately catches the ear and stirs the blood; instrumentalist Ryan Lum knows exactly how to frame it with lush guitars, tasteful keyboards and rhythms that draw from jazz and bossa nova as much as...

Just got off the phone with Bryan. Boy oh boy, did Ryan and I TALK! We were so impressed by how well Bryan had done his research; he seemed to know a lot about us. We just blabbed and blabbed… I think I had a little too much coffee beforehand. I bet you can hear me slurping it down over the phone, too — heh heh.
Its really cool that Bryan’s going to send me a mini disc of the interview, so...

Well, the album reviews are trickling in now. Now I have a few for Projekt to send on over to Borders, in order to convince them to grant us a listening booth for the release. Projekt had no problem in the past getting listening booths set up, but apparently now Borders are clamping down on the more obscure artists, like us. Bah! Those booths actually brought in a lot of the new listeners for Flux, and I definitely...

Very interesting… 3 out of the 4 reviews we’ve received this week have called me “sultry”! That just happens to be one of my favorite words, too. I actually — I kid you not — made a fanzine called that a few years back. Never did more than 1 issue, and I only made enough copies for me and my friends, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Ryan hadn’t heard...

Matt Rowe reviews “Windblown Kiss”
Ryan Lum, the mainstay of Lovespirals (formerly Love Spirals Downwards ), is in complete control of this band and its direction. Having flitted in and out of several styles without losing its base sound, Lovespirals comes to an extravagant and pleasing approach in their newest offering, Windblown Kiss. Suzanne Perry, the band’s former chanteuse, is missed...

Mistress McCutchan, editrix of Morbid Outlook online zine, has included reviews of both Windblown Kiss and our
Projekt Fest set in her latest editon . I love the look and feel of her site; very well organized and attractive!
