Episode 6 of Chillin’ with Lovespirals is now up and ready for your
listening pleasure. The Lovespirals crew get a bit loopy as they announce the
official street date, talk of promotional plans, and ask fans for their input.
You can check it out through all the usual locations (ie. the website, iTunes,
Odeo, MySpace, Garageband etc…).

Man, I was pretty exhausted when we recorded the podcast yesterday. After starting over from the top a few times, we got kinda cranky and almost didn’t do one, then we suddenly got really silly, instead. We were like, “How are we going to make a 10 minute show about how we’re about to announce news, but aren’t quite there yet?” Then I forgot to mention that we had just done a new...

Now that the end is in sight for our CD release, we are just running around like chickens with our heads cut off! Last night we took some time to actually play music, which was a refreshing change of pace. We played through our set using just electric guitar and a mic through amps, which was a first. The rawness sounded kind of interesting, actually. I could see us maybe doing a quick ‘n dirty show like...

With the new album comes a new band bio. Check it out:
Lovespirals’ sophomore offering, Free & Easy, is actually band founder Ryan Lum’s 6th album, having released 4 other 10,000+ selling Projekt titles under the extended moniker, Love Spirals Downwards. Since 1991, multi-instrumentalist/producer Lum has been slowly but steadily perfecting his craft, mesmerizing listeners with a dreamy combination of...

I mentioned in a podcast last month that we had a collaboration in the works with Philly band, Beauty’s Confusion. They are a great up and coming band so I’m excited to be doing something with them. They just sent us a copy of their recent album, which is really enjoyable. I knew quite a few songs already because they are pretty generous about sharing their music online, but there were a couple sweet...

Man, they didn’t get around to making our changes and sending out a new proof today. Ryan seems pretty stressed out. A whole week of production time down the tubes last week and now no early start this week. Wahh wahh wahh wahhh (sad slide trombone sound)…

Sheesh… sometimes it seems like we’ll never get the new album out. It was totally done last year, aside from mastering and artwork. We started mastering it around New Years, I seem to recall. But then all this rain came and our studio roof was leaking so we had to get that fixed. While we had the guy working, we figured we’d get our electrical upgraded in there, since nothing was grounded,...

At long last, the newest episode of the band podcast is out. Lovespirals have been busy with final preparations for the release of their 2nd full length album, but have taken time out to put together a light-hearted podcast to share some recent news. You can find out all the details on the new podcast page.

In the sprit of old jazz, blues, and bossa nova records, we thought we’d include a description of the album on the back cover of the CD written in that type of style. Here is the text:
Lovespirals are the very sound of life’s earthly joys and sorrows. Anji Bee’s voice shifts from little girl purity to breathy sensuality, then ascends gracefully to angelic heights, while Ryan Lum’s soulful electric...

Haha, apparently “Trouble” was used in an episode of that E! channel show, “Gastineau Girls” sometime this year! I don’t know how, but I know I saw that show one night and though it was kinda crazy. It’s like a reality show about a rich mom and her hot daughter just, like, trying to be sexy and cool all the time. I can see how that song is perfect for the show though, with...
