Lovespirals dropped their latest single a week early exclusively for Bandcamp Friday, but the official release date is today, September 12th, on all streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music.
A haunting blend of gothic-tinged dream pop and atmospheric chill, “Nothing Even Matters Anymore” moves from hushed resignation to soaring catharsis. Anji’s luminous vocal harmonies and Ryan’s ethereal guitar weave a melancholic sound ideal for late-night reflection.
A lyric visualiser video is simultaneously available on YouTube.
Had the pleasure of reimagining “Molten” by Blue Ringed Baby + Kami for their upcoming album on Goddezz. Took me back to the headspace I was in while making ‘Flux’ in 1997-98. Give it a listen!
Shimmering breaks, weightless motion, glitched sparks of melody, lightness and transcendence… with Molten featuring inspirations and production from close collaborator of the duo bbsanii, the release is also accompanied by a rare remix from Love Spirals Downwards, the seminal 90s ethereal wave and dream-pop band whose work helped define an era of ambient electronica, jungle and atmospheric soundscapes. Their reimagining of “molten” drifts into lounge-inspired bliss, with dreamy guitars and a laid-back rhythmic sway.
Out now on Bandcamp, as well as streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music.
Lovespirals “Glittering” marks a shimmering return to chillout, channeling the hypnotic allure of millennial downtempo electronica through the band’s distinctive brand of dream pop. Built around a haunting piano motif, the track gradually unfolds into a sophisticated contemplation of beauty and illusion.
Anji Lum’s enchanting vocal interplay, characterized ever so slightly jazzy and low-lit phrasing layered with ethereal, witchy harmonies, imbues the song with a seductive yet cautionary aura. Her lyrics flicker between allure and regret, casting love as something dazzling but deceptive:
“Catching feelings / Fell for the flash / Foolish emotions / Now turned to ash.”
Ryan Lum’s signature fusion of electric and acoustic guitar is elegantly woven over a laid-back electronica groove, striking a harmonious balance between earthy tones and atmospheric ambiance. His Big Muff-soaked solo recalls the expressive restraint of Pink Floyd, culminating in a radiantly anachronistic climax—at once nostalgic and fresh.
Wrapped in a soulful, vintage-inspired rhythm and adorned with sparkling ambient touches, “Glittering” serves as both a loving nod to the duo’s past and a subtle reinvention. It invites listeners to lose themselves in the glow, even as it gently reminding them of the adage:
“All that glitters is not gold.”
“Glittering” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music,YouTube Music and other streaming platforms under the original band name, Love Spirals Downwards, as well as on Bandcamp under both LSD and Lovespirals.
Following the simmering defiance of “Boss Mode,” Lovespirals return with “Okay”— a slow-burning meditation on emotional exhaustion and disconnection, enveloped in a soundscape that seamlessly blends sensual modern R&B grooves with lush dream pop melancholy. Ryan Lum’s signature production style, characterized by ethereal guitar flourishes, emotive ebow leads, and haunting touches of acoustic guitar woven through sparkling synths and contemporary beats, sets the stage for Anji Lum’s soulful, natural-toned lead and airy high harmonies that gracefully drift above the mix. “Okay” further expands the lyrical and sonic universe that Anji and Ryan have been constructing—a realm of whispered truths, shadowed beauty, and the poignant space between our emotions and our words.
“Okay” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music,YouTube Music and other streaming platforms under the original band name, Love Spirals Downwards, as well as on Bandcamp under both LSD and Lovespirals.
A silky-smooth blend of soulful downtempo and introspective pop, “Boss Mode” pairs Anji’s soul-baring lyricism and sultry vocal delivery with Ryan’s signature dream pop guitar textures and sleek electronica production. With moody keyboards, crisp beats and soulful guitar flourishes, the song finds strength in vulnerability, drawing emotional resonance from the language of gaming culture—“like boss mode, low health, no refill”—as a metaphor for emotional burnout.
Marking a shift from the darker emotional tones of recent singles like “Not Myself” and “Noumenon,” “Boss Mode” calls back to the bittersweet soulfulness of “Why Not Today” and the melodic warmth of “Life Goes On,” while carving out its own space with a confident groove and glimmers of hope. The result is a track that straddles introspective pop and downtempo electronica, inviting listeners to power through life’s harder moments with grace and groove.
“Boss Mode” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and other streaming platforms under the band’s original name, Love Spirals Downwards, as well as on Bandcamp under both LSD and Lovespirals.
Lovespirals unveil a lush reimagining with “Will It Ever Be The Same (VIP Mix).” A favorite of Lum’s from their 2018 album Life Goes On, the duo elevates the original’s brooding beauty with a richer, moodier production taking advantage of their current studio arsenal. New to this version is a hypnotic vocal sample—“tell me, tell me…”—looped throughout, adding a modern rhythmic hook, while subtle 808 percussion lifts the stately dream pop track into a more contemporary space. Anji Bee’s haunting vocals express a yearning for connection, echoing into the cosmos with aching clarity. A modern classic reborn.
