New Look For Love Spirals Downwards’ Site
At long last, we are totally redesigning the band site! We figured it was high time we took advantage of current blog technology and joined WordPress. This has been the easiest site to build, ever. There still might be a few tweaks here and there, but take a look around and give us some feedback.
LSD on iTunes Essentials Shoegaze Playlist
Our 1996 track “Madras,” from Ever, was selected as a “Deep Cut” for the iTunes Essentials Shoegaze & Beyond playlist alongside legendary bands Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Jesus and Mary Chain, Lush, and more. Here’s what iTunes has to say about the Deep Cuts selections:
All things must pass, intense musical movements included, but when the first-wave shoegazers finally looked up from their footwear, what they saw was a whole new scene that they themselves had begotten. The proof is in the Deep Cuts…
Pretty cool!
Suzanne Perry on New Falling You CD
Love Spirals Downwards’ singer, Suzanne Perry, appears on one song of the latest Falling You album, Human. “An Angel Ameliorate” is very ambient, a little bit like our cover of Black Tape’s “Could I Stay the Honest One” but with Suzy’s classic “glossolalia” style lyrics. Very sad and pretty. To the best of my knowledge, this is her first released work since Melodyguild’s cover of “Sally’s Song” on the Projekt Holiday Single 2 back in 2004. You can check out the track for free from Magnatune here.
UPDATE: this won Best Vocal Album of 2006 from New Age Reporter. Congrats!
The album is now available on Bandcamp!

LSD on Dawson’s Creek DVD
The Love Spirals Downwards’ 1998 track, “Psyche,” (with Kristen Perry) appears on episode #501 of Dawson’s Creek. This season premier episode was just released on the Season 5 DVD set on May 3, 2005.
“Psyche” #1 on CNET’s Download.com
CNET’s brand new Music.Download.com site has posted the Top 50 Downloaded Songs for Week 2 on their forum, and it turns out that “Psyche,” from Flux, is #1! This 1998 track featuring the vocals and lyrics of Suzanne’s sister, Kristen Perry, has already had over 4,000 downloads from May 3rd to May 9th – not too shabby! LSD is featured on the site’s front page with this editor’s review:
Have a hit of Love Spirals Downwards, which otherwise goes by LSD. Ryan Lum and Suzanne Perry make music that will set your mind drifting, inspired by such beautiful dreamers as the Cocteau Twins and Mojave 3. The difference is that this duo drops drowsy beats over their acoustic guitars.
