Lovespirals began as an evolution Love Spirals Downwards, the project of multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Ryan Lum. Lum partnered with vocalist/lyricist Anji Bee in 1999 via the underground DJ scene. After a series of atmospheric drum n bass singles, the duo released Lum's final album for Projekt, Windblown Kiss, in 2002. In 2005 they founded Chillcuts and the Chillin' with Lovespirals podcast to launch their independent more digital-focused career. Over the next two decades, the duo expanded their sonic palette across full-length albums Free & Easy, Long Way From Home, Future Past, and Life Goes On—exploring a blend of dream pop, electronica, jazz, and soul. At the same time, they kept Lum's earlier catalog --featuring former collaborator Suzanne Perry-- preserved through remastering and reissues on digital platforms. In 2024 Lum returned to the full band name, Love Spirals Downwards, as he and Anji embarked upon an ambitious monthly genre-blending new singles schedule.
