Love Spirals Downwards was begun by multi-instrumentalist Ryan Lum and then-girlfriend Suzanne Perry. In 1991, Lum and Perry recorded a demo, which led to a contract with Projekt Records. Over its 8-year history, the band released four full-length albums, a career retrospective, and a CD single, selling (by their own account) in excess of 40,000 CDs. They were also included on over two dozen various artist compilations, including the Heavenly Voices series released by the German label Hyperium.
Perry's sister Kristen collaborated with Lum on two tracks for the 1998 album, Flux. One of her songs, "Psyche ," was used on episode #501 of Dawson’s Creek, originally airing on 10/10/2001. This episode is included on the Season 5 DVD set.
Jennifer Wilde (then working under her maiden name, Jennifer Ryan Fuller) collaborated with Lum and Perry on two tracks for Love Spirals Downwards' 1994 second release, Ardor. Her vocals from one of these songs, "Sunset Bell," were reused for a new version of the song 4 years later on the band's album, Flux. Wilde went on to form her own band, Liquid State, in January 2006.
Although the band never officially broke up, in 1999 Lum began releasing music under the shortened moniker, Lovespirals, featuring new vocal collaborator, Anji Bee. In January 2000, the Love Spirals Downwards career retrospective CD, Temporal, was released by Projekt with no indication of the duo's split.
Soon after the 2002 release of Lovespirals' first full-length album, Windblown Kiss, Projekt announced that Perry would release an EP under the band name, Melodyguild. Though recorded in 2003, the band's debut EP, Aitu, wasn't released until mid-2008. Perry has since collaborated with Falling You on material released in 2006 and 2008.
In 2007 Projekt re-released the first two Love Spirals Downwards albums remastered by Ryan Lum with additional tracks included in newly designed digipacs.

thanks guys! i (ryan) really got lucky when making this song; don't think i could re-create that magic today.
Love Spirals Downwards
thanks so much! in addition to our studio albums, we're going to try to dig up some songs and other rarities that have never been released.

Magick.

Hi Ryan, I've been a fan of yours since 94. My wife and I even used to perform "Subsequently", the acoustic version, in clubs etc years ago. "Nova" and "Ring", are my personal favorites, and can still affect me deeply at times, especially alone and driving out in the middle of nowhere late at night. My god man...that tone and lyrical guitar!!! Please keep at it brother! Shawn
PABLO MIRA
BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!
David Duncan
What are the effects you used to create this sound? What are the chords? I've been mesmerised by the effects used here since I found your music well over a decade ago.
Hades Eye
Reverb for starters. Probably a little bit of delay and maybe even some chorus. ;)
Anita Breivik
Just breathtaking :)

Thanks for the quick response Ryan! So I have to ask...In addition to the myriad of other projects you have going on, are you ever planning a remastered release of "Flux" and "Ever"? I do own the "Ardor" and "Idylls" releases, (which btw, if anyone else is reading this you should get as the sound is remastered by Ryan himself, and there are very nice extras too!), and I would love to hear what you can do with them! I sincerely hope I don't sound ungrateful for what we have already. : ) Shawn
