Lovespirals http://virb.com/lovespirals Lovespirals evolved out of Love Spirals Downwards, the legendary Projekt Records act of multi-instrumentalist, Ryan Lum. In 1998 Lum became immersed in the San Francisco drum 'n' bass DJ scene, and soon found himself collaborating with sultry vocalist, Anji Bee on white label DJ acetates. After a series of jazzy drum 'n' bass singles released on comps alongside the likes of LTJ Bukem, Lum and Bee a new jazzy dream pop sound for their moody 2002 Projekt debut, Windblown Kiss. The duo followed up in 2005 with a sensual blend of electronica and dream pop on Free & Easy, the first CD for the band's own label, Chillcuts. Picking back up in 2007 with the more 70's-inspired sounds of Free & Easy, Lovespirals have truly hit their stride on their third album, Long Way From Home. Melding dreamy folk and rock with soulful jazz and blues, the duo seamlessly blend prior influences with new sounds and styles. Bee confidently spins seductive tales of beautiful sadness and spiritual longing set to Lum's masterfully melancholic music. Bluesy electric guitar abounds, with touches of wistful slide guitar, tinkling piano, and haunting harmonica to evoke a lush, organic, Americana feel. Renowned music podcaster, C.C. Chapman, has said this is Lovespirals best work to date, and the band agree. In fact, Lum believes this is his finest work, bar none. Lovespirals' music has been featured on MTV, VH1, ABC, EW and other TV and cable channels internationally. Both Lovespirals and Love Spirals Downwards albums are available via iTunes, Rhapsody, Emusic, Amazon, CDBaby, and other online retailers, as well as in-store via Metropolis Distribution in the US, Noise Kontrol in Latin America, and Monitor in Hong Kong.

Lovespirals finally take a moment for the first band podcast of the year! Anji starts it off with a quick overview of the past month, including seeing the band's good pal, CC Chapman, get interviewed by CNN during the Presidential Inauguration -- go CC! Then the band get into the nitty gritty of recent events like the latest neighbor noise torments and the big So Cal rainstorm, plus hating on Grammys, announcing the official release date and chart news of the Damien.S VS Lovespirals remix EP of "This Truth" on Loverush Digital (DMC is currently listing "This Truth" at #2 on the World Trance Chart!!!), rediscovering Atmospheric Drum & Bass (see: Blu Mar Ten and Below Zero), writing and recording songs for the new album, more cable & TV placements, pimping the new Lovespirals Twitter account, discussing how using a cute picture of a girl will get you more friends on Twitter (see: Azita of Matter Yoga), getting excited over the new Dalai Lama Twitter account (which was suspended at time of posting...), seeing BB King in concert, buying tickets for Robert Cray and The Dead, pimping the Lovespirals Facebook Page, and being confused if people communicate with us via site comment, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace or email (Bente DID comment at the blog, btw!). The show closes out with a clip of "This Truth (Adam Fielding Chilled Out Mix)" which you can hear in full on The Chillcast #150 over at www.anjibee.com.
