Noising Therapy No6  (Winter 1992/93)

Love Spirals Downwards were featured in the French fanzine, Noising Therapy. Below is an English translation and the original pages:


We owe some pages of Noising Therapy to our friend, the formidable American label Project, which has presented us with two of its most beautiful artists: BLACK TAPE FOR A BLUE GIRL and LYCIA.

IT was the first interview ever from a band which has played just one live show. Uncertain as to their place in the scene but with a sound that leads the way, Love Spirals Downwards is a band to watch. Interview by Ariel and Aillinn.

Ryan: Is the whole interview like question and answer, or is it going to be more of an article?

Ryan: We’re mixing it right now. We just mixed the first three of the eleven or twelve songs. It will have a different feel than “Mediterranea” and “Forgo.” It’s more… what do you think? Trancey, Eastern.

Suzanne: We were a little reluctant to put those two songs on, when he [Projekt’s Sam Rosenthal] chose those two. Those are two of the three first songs that we ever sent him. They’re a little old. They’re about a year old. I guess the sound’s a little bit different [on the album]. It is a little more trancy, more Indian or Middle Eastern sounding.
