A beautiful new lyrics visualizer video is now available on YouTube for Lovespirals new song “Without You.” This continues the band’s series of singles with accompanying videos released monthly –more or less– over the past year. Featuring photography by Ryan and editing by Anji, this video –just like the song itself– was a labor of love for the duo.
“Without You” 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.
Lovespirals are dropping their latest single on a Monday for the first time ever. So you’ll have to wait just a bit longer to hear “Without You,” a wistfully romantic and nostalgic nod to the duo’s past work in the soulful rock and chillout vein of their album Free & Easy. Rather than celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band’s debut post-Projekt Records release with a remix or re-recording of one of those 2005 songs, Ryan and Anji Lum opted for creating a brand new song in that vein –even working with lyrics begun by Anji during that time period.
If you’re feeling nostalgic, go check out Lovespirals Free & Easy, originally released November 1, 2005, on the band’s Bandcamp page:

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.
Ryan & Anji return to discuss their latest single, “Glittering,” sharing listener comments and behind the scenes stories about its creation, release, and promotions. They also talk about some improvements Ryan made to his custom telecaster, and get into the guitar sounds he used on “Glittering” including using Anji’s Big Muff Pi pedal. Additional news was shared, as well, so check it out for all the latest from Lovespirals!
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.
The latest episode of Lovespirals band podcast is out now! Ryan and Anji discuss their latest single, “Okay,” including their songwriting and recording process, listener feedback, album art, video making, etc. They also address the concerns of fans regarding Anji’s “Boss Mode” lyrics, share upcoming plans and more in this casual conversation.
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 new episode of Chillin’ with Lovespirals is out now in video and audio format. Ryan & Anji chat about the new single, “Boss Mode,” sharing behind the scenes stories about its creation, answering listener comments, talk about upcoming plans, and more in this relaxed half hour show. Watch the video version on YouTube or listen to the audio podcast on your fave podcast service.
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.
