“Used To Be” Single & Video Out Now

Lovespirals return with their third new song of 2024 , “Used To Be,” a captivating track that intertwines 90s-inspired dream pop and electronica with unexpected hints of soulfulness. Evoking the early Love Spirals Downwards era, Ryan combines atmospheric textures, acoustic strums, and a goth-tinged guitar hook, building to an epic solo that closes the song with emotive resonance. Anji’s expressive blend of earthy and ethereal vocals, layered with harmonies, brings the song’s emotional depth to life. The result is an immersive, haunting, and reflective soundscape, pairing raw lyrical honesty with lush instrumentation.

“Used To Be” is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music,  Amazon Music, YouTube, Pandora, Juno Music, TIDAL now and other digital music services.

Official Projekt Records LSD Interview Cassette

In 1994, Jon Gonzalez of Fond Affexxions magazine conducted an interview with Ryan and Suzanne for a Projekt Records promotional cassette. This cassette served to promote both Love Spirals Downwards’ sophomore album, Ardor, and the various artist tribute to Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Of These Reminders, both released the same year. In addition to the interview, the cassette also includes “Write In Water” from Ardor, and “Could I Stay The Honest One?” from Of These Reminders. Quotes from this interview were also used for a “Shorttake” article on Love Spirals Downwards in Fond Affexxions Issue 5: Winter Thaw 1995. We recently unearthed and digitized the audio from this archival tape and made it available on YouTube.

“Not Myself” Digital Single

Lovespirals’ new single, “Not Myself,” is a nostalgic nod to the band’s early millennium chillout sound. In contrast to the darker and more despairing vibe of “Noumenon,” “Not Myself” invites quiet meditation with its minimalist lyrics that exploring themes of self-identity, set against dreamy, slightly jazzy yet ambient soundscapes and soft beats. The perfect soundtrack for late summer moving into early autumn. 🍂

Available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and Bandcamp.
