Projekt sent over more details on our special feature for the Echoes radio program. The show is set to air Thursday 10/29, and then repeat again on Sunday 11/1, as well as Sunday 11/8, so you have three chances to catch it. Here’s the official promotional blurb they’re going with:
LOVE SPIRALS DOWNWARDS – MUSIC & MINDS IN FLUX
Love Spirals Downwards is a duo that has chartered the ethereal world of post-Cocteau Twins music with the haunting, wordless vocals of Suzanne Perry and the textured music of Ryan Lum. ‘Flux’ is their first album since they broke up as a couple and the trip-hop beats seem to represent the fracturing of their relationship. We gather them both in a room to sort out a group in flux.
Today is Suzanne’s birthday! Happy Birthday Suzy!!!
The article on us in the November issue of Keyboard is out and I’m excited about us and Massive Attack sharing the same page. If you don’t have their latest, Mezzanine, get it! It’s my favorite release of the year.
Lots has been going on with the release of Flux, which continues its great run on sales and radio. If you still haven’t bought Flux yet (you’ve all got it by now right?), you should be able to find it at most stores including Tower, Virgin, and Borders. Plus, Flux is featured in Borders listening stations now until November 16.
There’s still no shows to announce as of yet. The good news is that Suzanne and I have now started rehearsing and working on music again, after a several month break that both of us needed after finishing Flux.
Projekt sent over some news about Flux radio play. Firstly, the album debuted on the College Music Journal at #110 on 8/19/98, rising to #65 by its third week. As of this week, it’s sitting at #198. Apparently Flux hit #57 on Gavin’s College Chart on 9/11, meaning it was just 7 spins away from making the Top 50.
The Gavin Report and CMJ are radio industry publications that both chart music being played and also help promote new music, so its good to know the album is getting a little notice there.
Additionally, it’s cool to hear that our local station, KCRW in Santa Monica, has been showing Flux some love. Mike Morrison has apparently played us several times on Weekend Becomes Ecclectic. Lisa went on to note:
As you know, KCRW is a pioneer station, spotting and breaking bands months before other astute radio programmers are aware of the music.
