Chillout Scene Reviews Future Past

Chris of the Chillout Scene just gave Lovespirals new album, Future Past, a very positive review this week. The US-based blog is centered around the music and culture of the Chillout genre, including new album reviews, favorite YouTube videos, recent finds from music discovery services including Last.FM, Pandora, Blip.FM, and LaLa, as well as suggestions for Internet radio and podcasts. Chris also maintains a Chillout Scene Facebook page and Chillout Scene Twitter account (mirrors of each other)  you can follow to keep up with site updates and cool daily music suggestions, as well.

After giving a breakdown of his favorite tracks (“Home,” “Love,” “Meanwhile Irreplaceable Time Flees/Insignificant,” and “Sinking”,) Chris sums up his thoughts on the album:

Overall, I really like Lovespirals’ sound on this album, especially since it is similar to one of my favorite chillout artists, Zero 7. I think Ryan’s bluesy guitar playing is what makes them unique and makes them even more interesting than Zero 7 since they don’t just stick to acoustic guitar parts and electronic drum and bass tracks. Anji’s vocals also set Lovespirals apart from other artists as even the quieter parts are nice and smooth, rather than whispery. She makes her voice appear so delicate that it could fade away if any quieter, but it remains nice, smooth, and chill. Check out Future Past right away HERE.…I highly recommend it!

First Single – "Shine" – Released

The first single from Lovespirals’ new album, Future Past, is the bittersweet downtempo pop number, “Shine.” This song is making the rounds online slowly but surely, and you can help get the word out! Podcasters and broadcasters can pick up the track on Mevio’s Music Alley (formerly known as the Podsafe Music Network). Music bloggers and anyone else interested in sharing “Shine” on their sites or social media accounts with a handy audio widget, can do so via Soundcloud or Virb. Lovespirals’ MySpace music player allows users to add the streaming single to their personal playlists, while the band’s Facebook page lets you stream it from the page’s music player. iLike allows you to both stream and download the track either directly or from within the Facebook iLike app, where you can also dedicate the track to friends, add it to your music playlist, or post it to any profile.  Likewise, Garageband offers a full stream and download, plus users can rank and review “Shine” in the ongoing song contest to help Lovespirals win awards and feature placements on the site. TheSixtyOne also also offers full streams of “Shine,” with the option for users to help vote it onto the main page by clicking the “heart” button. ReverbNation allows you to stream and download the song, add it to your own playlist, and embed a Lovespirals audio player widget on your own sites. Most of these sites allow listeners to leave comments or reviews of songs, which Anji and Ryan always enjoy reading. If you use any of these sites or services, Lovespirals would very much appreciate your help in promoting both the new single and album!
