Preorder Lovespirals’ New CD
My current band, Lovespirals, has finished our 3rd album, Long Way From Home, and are now taking pre-orders. While the official release date is scheduled for October 23rd, we will mail out personally autographed copies of the new CD as soon as they become available. Plus, there’s a remix EP that you’ll get immediately as digital download with every order placed through the Lovespirals Webstore.
For fans of my older Love Spirals Downwards music, this new album should please you. I’ve gone back to making guitar based music and there’s a dark dreamy feel to it that’s reminiscent of Ardor and Ever. I think it’s my finest work yet. You can listen to a medley of the entire album and a full song or two on the album page for Long Way From Home.

Reissue Remastering Complete
This week I finished audio mastering for the Ardor and Idylls reissues that are coming out this summer. The CDs will be released as digipacs, whereas the original releases were jewel boxes, so though the reissues will look pretty similar to the originals, they will be different. It sure will be nice to get current contact information into the credits. Funny to think that I had no band website (very few did) when these albums were originally released. I believe I have a band website listed in the Ever credits, but that site is outdated and gone. Anyway, things are coming along nicely and on track. More news soon.

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 Sings on New Falling You CD
The band’s 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!
