“Sandcastles” Official Music Video

Leave a comment

Enjoy this new video for “Sandcastles,” the epic closing track to Lovespirals’ album, ‘Free and Easy.’ Enjoy two gorgeous sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, shot at the pristine So Cal beach, Crystal Cove. The first sunset was shot from down on the beach, while the second one was filmed from up on the bluff. The second sunset is the most amazing technicolor sky Anji and Ryan have ever experienced, and it really brings the gospel like chorus and electric guitar solo of the end 3rd of this song to life!

MUSIC: “Sandcastles” by Lovespirals From the album, ‘Free & Easy’ (2005) Available at http://lovespirals.bandcamp.com Or iTunes, Amazon, Google Play or Spotify

“Brother Against Brother” Single & Music Video Out Now

Leave a comment

The first new single from Lovespirals since their 2010 album, ‘Future Past,’ is in many regards a return to form for band founder, Ryan Lum. Lum exploded onto the American dream pop scene back in 1991 as Love Spirals Downwards on the Projekt Records label, quickly establishing himself as one of the best ethereal producers and guitarists this side of the Atlantic. “Brother Against Brother” is swirling, ambient, folk-tinged dream pop replete with heavily effected ethereal guitar and female vocals by his bandmate, Anji Bee.

Buy the 2-song single at http://lovespirals.bandcamp.com

Bee created this appropriately heavenly video filled with fluffy slo-mo clouds and the duo dressed like angels in all-white using her iPhone and Final Cut Pro. Each member selfied their own performance in the video.

The B-side to Lovespirals’ new single, “Brother Against Brother,” is a dreamy, mystical, ambient guitar and vocal piece that was originally written for the opening sequence of a documentary film of the same name about the Mauli Ola Foundation by Michael Squier. The version of the song offered here has been slightly updated with additional vocals, guitar, and new production. The amazing time lapse video sequences were all shot by Michael Squier, some of which appeared in his film of the same name.

Buy the ‘Brother Against Brother’ 2-song single or the full album, ‘Life Goes On,’ featuring this song on CD or as a digital download on the Lovespirals Bandcamp page.

New Video for Lovespirals' "Aspenglow"

Video Leave a comment

Lovespirals “Aspenglow” from Excelsis Vol. 3

Brand new video for Lovespirals’ cover of the wintry John Denver song, “Aspen Glow,”  recorded for the 2001 Projekt holiday comp, ‘Excelsis Vol. 3: A Prelude.’ It was also included on the 2002 Hot Topic Holiday comp, ‘A Dark Noel: The Very Best of Excelsis.’

MusicTap writes: “Lovespirals gives us “Aspen Glow”, a song borrowed from John Denver and sweetly sung in as good a version as you’ll ever hear by the beautiful Anji Bee, who’s voice is as charming as a winter scene that you become lost in. Ryan and Anji’s respect for the season is deeply felt. This track has become one of my favorite seasonal songs.”

“Believe” Music Video

Back in 2008 and 2009 when Lovespirals were creating their 4th album, Future Past, the band captured some behind-the-scenes moments during the songwriting, recording, and production process — as well as time spent at various beaches in their native Southern California to recharge their creative batteries. “Believe” was filmed by Anji and Ryan, and edited together by Anji.

Lovespirals Live Practice Video

Leave a comment

In preparation for the big Lovespirals and Karmacoda Harlot Happy Hour show coming up this Friday in San Francisco, Ryan and Anji have spent a lot of time selecting and arranging a half hour set of songs to perform. Over the weekend the duo tried playing the set using both an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar. The band have done shows either way, and they each have their merits. Anji captured some footage from a few of these practice sessions and put it up on the Lovespirals Facebook Group and Official Lovespirals You Tube Account. Figured we should post it here, as well! Lovespirals haven’t performed live since 2006 – and they haven’t played the San Francisco area since 2002 – so if you’re in the area, you really should come check it out!

Anji @ CD Pre-Launch Listening Party

Leave a comment

You may have heard about Lovespirals’ exclusive little pre-launch CD listening party from band Tweets or the latest episode of Chillin’ with Lovespirals (#70), but if not it was a small get together with a few San Francisco friends to both celebrate the completion of Future Past and to get some feedback on album. The party took place at the same groovy Victorian flat where the album photos were taken, which you can hear more about in Chillin’ with Lovespirals #64. Anyway, Ryan captured some video of Anji showing off the party spread moments before their guests arrive.

This video was originally posted to the Lovespirals Facebook page. Come add yourself as a fan!
