Lovespirals is an American dream pop and electronic music band from Southern California, featuring husband and wife, multi-instrumentalist/producer Ryan Lum and lyricist/vocalist Anji Bee.

[1] The new outfit found Lum teaming up with Doron Orenstein and Gabriel D. Vine of Subliminal Records duo, Monkey Bars for the instrumental track "Beatitude".

[3] At first, Lovespirals' music picked up where Lum left off with Flux, the final Love Spirals Downwards' studio album, creating drum and bass and downtempo compositions.

These tracks were pressed to acetate for Lum's use in DJ sets during promotions for the Love Spirals Downwards career retrospective CD, Temporal: A Collection of Music Past & Present, released earlier that year.

[7] StarVox Magazine listed the Ecstatic EP and Time Again in their Top 10 Staff Favorites of 2001, citing Lovespirals and Claire Voyant's "triphop-influenced grooves" as "Goth's Next Big Thing.

"[8] Mp3.com featured the EP in their "Hot Artist Spotlight" on January 25, 2002, stating: For those fans of Good Looking Records, Lovespirals could easily be found amongst their ranks in talent and sound.

[9]By 2002, however, the band had eschewed drum and bass in favor of more dream pop-focused territory, albeit with jazz and world flavorings, for their first full-length CD, Windblown Kiss, released on Lum's longtime label, Projekt.

[10] Oddly enough, Windblown Kiss was linked to another burgeoning gothic subgenre, "slow teary-eyed gothic jazz": Lovespirals’ "Windblown Kiss" of 2002 was heralded as the style’s official birth and fulfilled the lifelong dreams of darkwave and lounge lovers like myself by blending the melancholy, ethereal vocals of the former with the breezy, slow sway of the latter.

Podsafe Music Network founder Adam Curry premiered "Walk Away (Bitstream Dream Remix)" on Daily Source Code #261,[13] on October 17, 2005.

[21] Lovespirals' third album Long Way From Home, released October 23, 2007, was a return to guitar and vocal-based compositions, more in the dream pop style, with Americana/alt country influences.

[15] The two lead singles from Long Way From Home were also released as digital EPs, with downtempo, house and other electronica genre remixes recalling the band's prior sound.

The Motherless ChildEP, released September 16, 2007, contained remixes by Hungry Lucy, Karmacoda, MoShang, Chris Caulder (of Beauty's Confusion), the Black Channel Citizen, and Lovespirals' own Ryan Lum.

This seven-song EP included remixes by Juno Sinclair and Craig Bailey, Avatar One, Thomas Oldani and Adam Fielding, as well as two mixes by Damien.S.

The latter track had originally been composed as a soundtrack piece for an independent documentary of the same name, though the version included on the album is an updated recording.
