Speaker 1: And I'm Ryan and we are Love Spirals.
Speaker 2: So welcome to Jill Have Loved Spirals Episode ninetety six
Speaker 2: for June first, twenty twenty five. We did mean to
Speaker 2: get this out last week, but things got crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here we are, all right. So the big news
Speaker 1: we want to share with you is our brand new single,
Speaker 1: boss Mode is out now and all streaming platforms ever
Speaker 1: We got Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Title and others,
Speaker 1: so check it out. It's also on both of our
Speaker 1: band accomp pages, Love Spirals and Love Spirals Dowards if
Speaker 1: you want to purchase it and download it in any
Speaker 1: kind of lossy or lossless format in store forever on
Speaker 1: your hard drives and stuff. Anyway, we're really excited to
Speaker 1: get this song out. It's actually a song that we
Speaker 1: started a few years ago and it hadn't promised, but
Speaker 1: it didn't kind of cash out the way I wanted,
Speaker 1: so I just kind of left it and like we
Speaker 1: pulled it up maybe like last fall, and I go, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I think, let me just kind of rework
Speaker 1: the song, kind of start from scratch, but keep the
Speaker 1: basic structure of it, the basic elements. And yeah, and
Speaker 1: this is what we got now and this is yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the one. This is what I wish I
Speaker 1: could have figured out how to make a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. But I guess I've gotten a little more
Speaker 1: wiser and a.
Speaker 2: Little more sure. We've been working on that long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Way, yeah, yeah, I can go back and pull out
Speaker 2: the date for you later on. Well, I actually want
Speaker 2: to know, So, okay, I'm gonna go look right now,
Speaker 2: kind of receipts.
Speaker 1: So I just unlooked on my computer drive and I
Speaker 1: see some old saves of it from the old version
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty three, and you know, I started the song.
Speaker 1: We started the song before that, even so, just like
Speaker 1: we've been working on it for a while.
Speaker 2: Wow, time must be freaking flying. How Yeah, the song's
Speaker 2: been in the work since twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: Well, we made a bunch of other songs since then,
Speaker 1: like moving On and Be the Same and so on
Speaker 1: and so forth.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this was part of that song cycle, the Newmanon.
Speaker 1: It was kind of the start of that. But I
Speaker 1: think we really found our sound after I told you.
Speaker 1: After that we did that the Saint Love Remix for
Speaker 1: All Electronico. Then we got newman on everything going, and
Speaker 1: once we got the flow and moment of the of
Speaker 1: the production styles of that, I was able to, I
Speaker 1: think give Boss Mode like the proper treatment.
Speaker 2: Wait are you saying Boss Moone got started even before
Speaker 2: the remix of an Electronica? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, I'm pretty sure, pretty sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, the only receipt that I had that, the only
Speaker 2: thing that I could really was, like, we did like
Speaker 2: the second pass of my new vocals on my birthday
Speaker 2: in February, because I know I played a little clip
Speaker 2: of that either the last episode or the episode before we.
Speaker 1: Had vocals back in November or twenty twenty were gone
Speaker 1: now completely.
Speaker 2: I know you're saying that it was in fall that
Speaker 2: we started this, you started the new music, I guess.
Speaker 1: Something like that somewhere thereabouts. Yeah, like a year later
Speaker 1: almost or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we did get most of the way
Speaker 2: through the vocals on that initial version, and I was like,
Speaker 2: it was I think the key was higher because it
Speaker 2: was like really difficult to sing, and.
Speaker 1: I remember, oh, yeah, I think we did change that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm actually really glad that we really chilled it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we chilled it out a lot. Yeah, we learned,
Speaker 1: we get better like we try. We're actually still even
Speaker 1: though we're old, we're still trying to improve our craft.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: I think the most distinct feature of this song compared
Speaker 1: to our past view is this one's a little happier
Speaker 1: as far as both the keys of the song, you know,
Speaker 1: the chorus and and the like the bpm. Just for us,
Speaker 1: it's happier. For any other band would be like their
Speaker 1: saddest song of all kinds.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but we can't really say how sad
Speaker 2: other people's music is.
Speaker 1: But for us, Yeah, yeah, sorry for you. You have your
Speaker 1: first time doing what's no one in the industry is
Speaker 1: melodic rapping just a little man.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I kind of had a brief for
Speaker 2: into the idea of a melodic crap, like I would
Speaker 2: say on that Antibe on the Antib's solo. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's that house song.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that melodic, You're more talking.
Speaker 2: It was kind of I was a little bit more
Speaker 2: like a spoken word divided by the seasons. It's more
Speaker 2: spoken words, it's the reasons and whatever.
Speaker 1: So I've never rapped before. This is the first time
Speaker 1: doing melodic rapping, which I have to admit I've fallen
Speaker 1: in love with on that style of rapping from a
Speaker 1: lot of the K pop we've been listening to over
Speaker 1: the years.
Speaker 2: Oh well, especially recently, we moved really into this band
Speaker 2: called x G and they're they're pretty rap focused, but
Speaker 2: also with these really great like soulful and ethereal vocals.
Speaker 2: Like so not that when I'm doing sounds anything like
Speaker 2: x G, but we were kind of thinking about we
Speaker 2: were kind of thinking about moss AX when we're putting
Speaker 2: the song together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this sounds.
Speaker 2: Sounds so silly, but I was kind of thinking about
Speaker 2: XO on the first version. Yeah, then I was kind
Speaker 2: of thinking more about moss X on the second one.
Speaker 2: And so hung one is like he's kind of like
Speaker 2: what like a lead vocalist, which is like a vocalist
Speaker 2: that kind of comes in at the beginning of a
Speaker 2: song and like we'll maybe lead into a chorus or something.
Speaker 1: He's my favorite singer, and he's got.
Speaker 2: A really breathy, ethereal sound that kind of a light touch.
Speaker 1: It doesn't he belt it out or anything, just soft
Speaker 1: just it's just it's so sexy. I say that as
Speaker 1: a man yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's like, how can I bring some of that
Speaker 2: hyung Wan vibe into my vocals?
Speaker 1: You know this?
Speaker 2: Okay, there is one thing.
Speaker 1: I want to tell that I can't imagine.
Speaker 2: Okay. So so we had the song and then we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: what are we going to do? And like the breakdown? Yeah, Weirdly,
Speaker 2: we were like driving down the freeway and I was like,
Speaker 2: what if we did some sort of like a wrap
Speaker 2: in the in the breakdown?
Speaker 1: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I actually I was writing the lyrics into
Speaker 2: my phone right there, like as we're driving down there.
Speaker 2: I'm driving, Yeah, he's driving. I'm just passenger, and you know,
Speaker 2: so it's just like a little short thing. And I
Speaker 2: was like, what if you tried to do the rap?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, yeah, I give it a shot. I kind
Speaker 1: of came up with some of the rhythm which kind
Speaker 1: of a little bit remained in what you did, not
Speaker 1: saying I wrote it or anything, but some of the
Speaker 1: rhythm still elements still exist in there. But I just
Speaker 1: didn't like my tone that much and you made it
Speaker 1: better was going to be my mine didn't fit the part,
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't go fast enough to get all the
Speaker 1: lines to fit in that bit. But you nailed it,
Speaker 1: and then your tone sounds way better than mine. I
Speaker 1: just wonder I've never done it before. I wanted you
Speaker 1: sound like Travis Scott or something.
Speaker 2: I don't want to some effects on.
Speaker 1: Yah, well I sound like I am for Monster Eggs.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just.
Speaker 2: Checking out recording.
Speaker 1: It's get really.
Speaker 2: I tried to sneak a little bit of into the mix,
Speaker 2: but I think you took it back out again, but
Speaker 2: I probably do. Yeah. So I was like, I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, why don't you try it like this?
Speaker 2: So I was like I was kind of like showing
Speaker 2: how do you do it? You're already doing.
Speaker 1: It, so yeah, and you're the vocalist. Sounds good. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to see what I would sound like. But
Speaker 1: I didn't like my tone. You know, maybe it's just
Speaker 1: I'm not used to singing and rapping and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe I could improve that, but yeah, you
Speaker 1: already got it down. You sounded great. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I kind of wrote it like thinking, and
Speaker 2: I was kind of thinking of like a guy doing
Speaker 2: the round. So that's me. I mean, that's not why
Speaker 2: I wrote about video game stuff, cause I actually really
Speaker 2: like playing video games.
Speaker 1: But so we went for some of the once the
Speaker 1: wraps down in production, we went to some of the
Speaker 1: like the classic effects you hear on melodic rap, like
Speaker 1: more hard tuning and some format shifting here and there
Speaker 1: to give it that polish and be sounding great with
Speaker 1: that too.
Speaker 2: I think you had a little more hardcore at one point,
Speaker 2: but I was like, oh, it's kind of taken away
Speaker 2: from some of the performances back, but I.
Speaker 1: Found a nice sweet spot. I kind of guess it.
Speaker 2: Doesn't stick out in the songs. I can hear it,
Speaker 2: but it's not like crazy yeah yeah, oh that reminds me.
Speaker 2: I forgot that. We've got some comments that we'll share
Speaker 2: with you guys later. All right, I'm just going to
Speaker 2: share the comments with you now. So, so we had
Speaker 2: some a few comments on Instagram. I'm going to share
Speaker 2: as well some on YouTube. We'll start with Instagram. So
Speaker 2: Crystal said amazing, spectacular, beautiful work. Sounds like hashtag s
Speaker 2: O T Y. And I was like, wait, what is
Speaker 2: that what? I was like, wait, that sounds familiar, and
Speaker 2: I realized song of the Year, Song of the Year.
Speaker 1: Awesome it remains still a little earlier.
Speaker 2: It's so nice. Yeah, I love that, And Dispenser said,
Speaker 2: new album when awesome.
Speaker 1: We'll get it. We'll compile an album together and put
Speaker 1: a few new songs on it. But yeah, we're getting there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was actually echoed by a guy named
Speaker 2: Ron on YouTube.
Speaker 1: He also the album yeah just quickly. Yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: put out albums like we used to because I don't
Speaker 1: like waiting three four plus years in between coming out
Speaker 1: and seeing you guys. You know, it seems like we've disappeared.
Speaker 1: The whole world changes in that amount of times, so
Speaker 1: new cycles and people's attentions. Man, we got to get
Speaker 1: music out regularly, and I think it's you good.
Speaker 2: Have to feed the algorithm.
Speaker 1: I think that's good for us not to get lazy.
Speaker 1: I think it keeps us on us too, and keeps
Speaker 1: us working on music a lot. So yeah, we're trying
Speaker 1: to do roughly one song a month. We kind of
Speaker 1: hit it pretty close.
Speaker 2: I wanted to do one song and one one podcast
Speaker 2: per month, but here we are. We missed the podcast
Speaker 2: last month, but at least we had a brand new song.
Speaker 1: But back to the album. Yeah, we think we'll get
Speaker 1: to a certain point. We'll put all these songs that
Speaker 1: haven't seen and been on an album yet, put them
Speaker 1: all together and released a couple of new songs and
Speaker 1: put out an album. So that's where we're at with that.
Speaker 2: Okay, So oh, speaking of YouTube, so we also I
Speaker 2: think this was a third time in a row that
Speaker 2: we did a visualizer lyric video for the song. This
Speaker 2: time I used a different effect, so it's kind of
Speaker 2: a cool graph again. And I went and I used
Speaker 2: a lot of different fonts and whatnot. So that's up
Speaker 2: on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Effect over my album cover photo once again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about it. Let's talk about your album cover.
Speaker 1: A lot of the album covers of our past year
Speaker 1: or two have been from weird stuff I've done. Big
Speaker 1: exception was not myself, right, that was one of your
Speaker 1: photos right, let me see now myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was some flowers that I had taken. And
Speaker 2: then the call VIP mix. We reused the same yamage
Speaker 2: from Susan Jennings from the original original.
Speaker 1: But other than that, yeah, they've all been these weird,
Speaker 1: like blurry, smeary color photographs I like doing for a
Speaker 1: while and often, yeah, you'll do some touch or production
Speaker 1: post production, Yeah, which I did.
Speaker 2: I did a little post production work and I had
Speaker 2: to you know, figure out which which part of the
Speaker 2: picture looked best in a square and then get a
Speaker 2: little font on there. But yeah, once again, Ryan's our photographer.
Speaker 1: On I'll share the exact location, but in case you
Speaker 1: might be one and what the hell is going on
Speaker 1: with that cover? There's this really just colorful, trippy looking
Speaker 1: parking lot. Sometimes it's not as cool looking now they
Speaker 1: put more bright white overhead lights. It's kind of down
Speaker 1: all the colors. You know, it's less colorful now. But
Speaker 1: I got it like last year and it's so it's
Speaker 1: a it's a trippy, weird parking lot.
Speaker 2: I posted a lot of indoor selfies and photos of
Speaker 2: the two of us in that parking lot when it
Speaker 2: had when it was like had so much blue light.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people it's kind of like
Speaker 2: there's like a roundabout type of thing, and I think
Speaker 2: a lot of bring their sports cars in there and
Speaker 2: take photos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. I think that's the purpose,
Speaker 1: not for weird dream gazer or dream gazer. That's what
Speaker 1: we happen to me.
Speaker 2: It is a parking lot for the I don't say where.
Speaker 1: Well, a club okay, yeah, there is a nightclub there
Speaker 1: amongst other things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've seen bands there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'd like to keep our privacy a little bit,
Speaker 1: that's why.
Speaker 2: A little time. But we did go through that parking
Speaker 2: garage with our friends the other day and then we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: oh is this familiar?
Speaker 1: This I'll cover okay, just to decide about that. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you still got more.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's a couple of comments on the.
Speaker 1: Sorry to derail that, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just we're just yeap and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we do here.
Speaker 2: Let's see. So of course restless mosaic, yeah, brand Yeah,
Speaker 2: he left a big comment, so let's see. So many
Speaker 2: of the genres that have mattered to me over the years,
Speaker 2: like proud rock, nineties electronica, and post rock, started with
Speaker 2: trailblazers and then continued with artists content to walk the
Speaker 2: trails instead of being inspired to keep making trails, You've
Speaker 2: continued to explore where your sounds in interest. Sleep Love
Speaker 2: Sparals has more creative vitality at age twenty five than
Speaker 2: most people do at age twenty five.
Speaker 1: The band's twenty five not but yeah, we're fifty seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, thanks Bren. Yeah, it's really thoughtful, Bran, I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah, I mean it's just how I'm wired
Speaker 1: and ANGI too. You know, we're like, you know, like
Speaker 1: we're always looking for inspiration. You know, some of them
Speaker 1: comes from the past, like our own music and music
Speaker 1: from others, and then we're still like finding fortunately, thank Heavens,
Speaker 1: like inspiration for modern music. And it's given me new ideas,
Speaker 1: not to like hop genres or anything that said, but
Speaker 1: how to incorporate like well I never thought to process
Speaker 1: a vocal like that or compose of something like that,
Speaker 1: so or how to arrange chords like that or anyway.
Speaker 1: So it's taken ideas from others genres bring it to ours,
Speaker 1: and I say, the secret sauce for us, no surprise,
Speaker 1: has been listening to a lot of Koreat music, k
Speaker 1: Indi and k pop, not just anything, you know, but
Speaker 1: you know we're finding like certain bands, certain songs just
Speaker 1: are just amazing.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. You know. It's funny. I was looking at some
Speaker 2: old fancies and I found an interview that I had
Speaker 2: done back in ninety four, before we were even making music.
Speaker 2: Together with my old band. In the interview, I said
Speaker 2: something that I still stand by one hundred percent today,
Speaker 2: So I said, we aren't a part of anyone underground movement.
Speaker 2: We flip from circle to circle, participating in whatever seems interesting.
Speaker 2: We like many styles of music, and our music reflects
Speaker 2: all of their influences. So we couldn't fit into a
Speaker 2: tidy niche.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like what we like and yeah, but we
Speaker 1: still have our core sound. We just bring other elements
Speaker 1: in our course. Like right before we started filming this,
Speaker 1: I was listening to a band I've just been going
Speaker 1: nuts over this year in mix a song Know about Me.
Speaker 1: You know I both love it. We heard all time,
Speaker 1: tons of time the car stir out in the living
Speaker 1: room Star. I don't think I really pulled it up
Speaker 1: on the studio before. I'm going holy crap. There's just
Speaker 1: so much cool stuff going on with the vocals there.
Speaker 1: I would give a finger to be able to like process.
Speaker 1: I would to be able to process vocals like what's
Speaker 1: going on there?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I'll never be that good, I understand it.
Speaker 1: I'm honest about myself. But I can learn and try
Speaker 1: to do some stuff with your vocals. That's kind of
Speaker 1: like that. I'll never make it sound like what's going
Speaker 1: on there. Yeah, but they'll never sound like us, or
Speaker 1: they'll never get all those dream pop things going on
Speaker 1: either unless we collaborate. Listening in Max, let's work together.
Speaker 1: It just drop us an email.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, okay, speaking of which, going back to the
Speaker 2: sound of Boss Mode, Yeah, the guitar is so pretty
Speaker 2: and dream pop on that song.
Speaker 1: Well that's me even though.
Speaker 2: Really there's nothing else. I wouldn't say there's anything else
Speaker 2: about the song that really seems like dream but well
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of the fuck. But uh, I
Speaker 2: don't know what genre it would fit in. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: have so much trouble.
Speaker 1: Quantum comment down below if you have an obvious.
Speaker 2: Genre, because I need help because I'm like, I guess
Speaker 2: we're indie pop, Like that's the closest thing that I
Speaker 2: can come up with.
Speaker 1: But then we're very electronic too, with all the electronic drums, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, indie pop can't includes electronic. It's like it can
Speaker 2: be electronica rock blah blah blah. Really, you know, the
Speaker 2: names of the genres changed so rapidly, Like yeah, looking
Speaker 2: at you know this fanzine from ninety four. Like we
Speaker 2: used to say that alternative music was like music that
Speaker 2: you wouldn't hear on the radio, and then alternative became
Speaker 2: a style of music radio.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to be called college college. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: anyone says anymore, like Pearl.
Speaker 1: Jam considered alternative rock made, I'm not sure. I know
Speaker 1: they are gruns, but oh yeah, I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: all confusing.
Speaker 2: It's all very confusing. But the thing is that when
Speaker 2: you distribute your music and the okay, so that's the thing.
Speaker 2: I was like, this, this song is a little bit
Speaker 2: too far outside of our like the dream pop shoegaze
Speaker 2: connections that I've kind of made.
Speaker 1: So you didn't bother contacting that I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't service anybody. Plus life was crazy, you know,
Speaker 2: and it was like it was a major holiday the
Speaker 2: weekend on our song.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, even though you didn't contact the dream pop
Speaker 1: people and you say they started playing.
Speaker 2: It, Yeah, I was alight. I was so surprised and delighted.
Speaker 2: I didn't contact one single soul about the song, and
Speaker 2: yet the White Light White Heat blog they put us
Speaker 2: on the weekly shoegaze, dream pops Psychedelia. I think they
Speaker 2: call it playlist, but it's really just like you can
Speaker 2: click all the links through the band camp and check
Speaker 2: it out with like a little description of who we are.
Speaker 2: They even included neo soul the description of us, because yeah,
Speaker 2: that's you know, this song has got a little bit
Speaker 2: of neo So yeah, I don't know if you.
Speaker 1: Put that in the verbiage, but I always thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: boss Mode, Yes, it's our our take, one of our
Speaker 1: We've done it a few times, our current take on
Speaker 1: a neo soul type of sound. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like for me, this song, it kind of is
Speaker 2: in the lineage of like the Life goes On, like
Speaker 2: the you know, the title track, Yeah, and which that
Speaker 2: one's song to me sounds a little more Jamison and
Speaker 2: then a little bit like what's the lot of smile?
Speaker 2: Why not today?
Speaker 1: Why not today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that kind of soul for us.
Speaker 1: That's we have a brand new song that'll be the
Speaker 1: next one. We haven't got your folks on it because
Speaker 1: life's been really weird, But as far as it stands instrumentally,
Speaker 1: it's still I think it too is kind of leaning
Speaker 1: more towards the neo Sultan. Can't wait to see what
Speaker 1: happens once we get some vocals on it.
Speaker 2: You know, I think I have one other comment on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Again when we say Neil, So it's very you know,
Speaker 1: not specifically, it's still going to have our weird you
Speaker 1: know love spirals, you know, stuff that no one else
Speaker 1: really does.
Speaker 2: Remember, there was another guy on YouTube who had said
Speaker 2: that he liked the song, but he said he said
Speaker 2: it remind him a little bit more of his favorite song,
Speaker 2: Not Myself, and he hopes there's going to be more
Speaker 2: songs like not Myself, which, yeah, I think we might
Speaker 2: like to do something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really fun and it's been so well received.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the most streamed of our newest button bash.
Speaker 2: I didn't write down any facts on that.
Speaker 1: One, but I just remember it's the most streams of
Speaker 1: the newest songs. Yeah. I thought something interesting one insting
Speaker 1: fact loss mode on your voice. Yeah, it's seat of
Speaker 1: our normal reverb on it, it's a more modern one,
Speaker 1: a hardware reverb. I put my old vintage P seventy
Speaker 1: on your voice. I mean it might be on it
Speaker 1: on a little bit on other songs, but it was
Speaker 1: the main one for your drivice. Yeah, seventy.
Speaker 2: It was like what all our the previous albums pretty much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it like serviced again and it's running.
Speaker 1: It was a little fun perfectly. I could get it work,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of pain the ass when I
Speaker 1: was working pretty much like brand new and Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just I didn't think our modern one was like given
Speaker 1: enough color and thickness. So I tried to PM seventy
Speaker 1: and I thought it was pretty nice. You came in,
Speaker 1: you didn't complain a bit, so well it Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: And we do a lot of work on the vocal production. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: because this one was tough to get because we kind
Speaker 2: of have two main vocals going through it. One that's
Speaker 2: like kind of a little lower and then then there's
Speaker 2: like a set of high ones and getting those getting
Speaker 2: those that they all we're together.
Speaker 1: And separate balance naturally when you when you hear it,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't think about, oh, there's two voys. I just
Speaker 1: want to hear it kind of is one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did a lot of finessing. Yeah, I really
Speaker 2: like how it turned out. Yeah, and boy it came.
Speaker 2: It's come a long way since I version we did.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've Sometimes I go back and like
Speaker 2: to share demos of earlier versions. Probably not No, that.
Speaker 1: One will forever remain here on you, not to be released.
Speaker 2: Well, since we were talking about stats on Spotify, I've
Speaker 2: got some of those here all right. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: remember the last time we did a podcast, we did
Speaker 2: it like two or three days after the song came out,
Speaker 2: so I didn't really have any stats. So this time
Speaker 2: we've had a full which is.
Speaker 1: Cool to wait a little bit. Yeah, over a week, week.
Speaker 2: Over a week, so I mean we are a very
Speaker 2: small time but yet for us, we get excited about
Speaker 2: these kinds of numbers. So we've had we're we're just
Speaker 2: approaching seven thousand streams of voss Wode on Spotify.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's consistent. It's not like falling off a
Speaker 1: cliff or anything like that. It's it's rolling in nice.
Speaker 1: I remember from checking those stats and.
Speaker 2: I was really happy, Like for a thousand people like
Speaker 2: put the heart to they call it a save, but
Speaker 2: it's like when you put a heart on and it's
Speaker 2: banana to is seven hundred and eleven playlists, Yeah, which
Speaker 2: makes me so happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Usually it's not rare for us to get over
Speaker 1: a thousand playlists ads, so it's on its way. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh and here I was looking at like the top,
Speaker 2: like the top listener bases. Our top city is Toronto, yeah, drake,
Speaker 2: and followed by Melbourne, Melbourne, and then La Brooklyn and Copenhagen.
Speaker 1: Oh, Copenhagen, I know, surprising.
Speaker 2: Right yeah yeah, but even with all those, even with
Speaker 2: Toronto and Melbourne being first, United States is still the
Speaker 2: top listener base by far. I guess it's just spread
Speaker 2: between so many cities. Yeah. Oh, we were very excited.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we've had thirty five plays in South Korea.
Speaker 2: Also today I put.
Speaker 1: More people in South Korea here stuff, because yeah, this
Speaker 1: one I think would be you said, s already doing
Speaker 1: better than most of our songs have been doing in
Speaker 1: creation in Korea. This one. Yeah, there's some definitely more
Speaker 1: direct k pop so funny and Korean music references directly
Speaker 1: in the music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh right, yeah that's right. And then this morning
Speaker 2: I saw that we had you had a comment on
Speaker 2: YouTube and I was like, wait a minute, let me
Speaker 2: translate this, and the guy said, please come place South
Speaker 2: Korea play live in South Crade.
Speaker 1: It was just like some old clip of me doing
Speaker 1: some like ambient ethereal and guitar loops a long long
Speaker 1: time ago, like in the nineties or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh definitely like probably ninety four, yeah, five were
Speaker 2: or maybe even ninety.
Speaker 1: Three Koreans Cape listening.
Speaker 2: We also Boss Mode got played on your first Listen,
Speaker 2: and I thought, there's no I was like thinking to myself,
Speaker 2: there's no way you're first listening because they they do
Speaker 2: shoegaze and dream pop it especially like the last show
Speaker 2: was really leaned into goth I thought, even because they
Speaker 2: did play like three weeks ago they played, will ever
Speaker 2: be the same VIP mix?
Speaker 1: Oh cool?
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, like we fit in there,
Speaker 2: but we were definitely a little different. Yeah, but this
Speaker 2: time I can't wait to hear the mix. So it
Speaker 2: was like it was on a live terrestrial radio stream
Speaker 2: on Friday and coming out of Fargo, North Dakota. I
Speaker 2: didn't realize that well, But and then they've got an
Speaker 2: online stream as well, which I just I missed it.
Speaker 2: And I guess I've heard that the show will replay
Speaker 2: on that on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Oh we we gotta check it out. We got to
Speaker 1: say alarm or something.
Speaker 2: But on Monday is when it goes to ear drum
Speaker 2: Buzz Rado, which that's what I knew that your first
Speaker 2: listen was part of ear Drum Buzz Rado, which they're
Speaker 2: super shoegazer. So I guess they've got their just working
Speaker 2: their show on a couple different things. So it'll be
Speaker 2: on ear drum tomorrow at six pm. You can listen
Speaker 2: to on ear drum Bus on net and then this
Speaker 2: is how I always hear it. It gets archived over
Speaker 2: on mixed cloud, so that's when I want to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate people who have a more like I do,
Speaker 1: a more broader sense of what includes like dream pop
Speaker 1: and shoegazs. Like some people are really specific or narrow
Speaker 1: like it has to sound on like Loveless, my Bloody
Speaker 1: Valentine's you know.
Speaker 2: Breakthrough album, a lot of stuff this year.
Speaker 1: You gotta have a Fender jazz Master and guitar and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. For me, I have a more broad sense.
Speaker 1: It's not that I mean, that's part of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm not downplaying just just you know, just
Speaker 1: a certain kind of dreamy sound and it can be
Speaker 1: done over all sorts of styles of music that back then,
Speaker 1: like a nineties all pop rock kind of foundation and
Speaker 1: us on a more electronic foundation. Yeah, it all works.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's not the it's not the instruments, it's
Speaker 1: it's the attitude.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's be honest, Flux is far and
Speaker 2: beyond your your most popular album and you know, in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, and it has been for a while now,
Speaker 2: and I see it on so many Spotify playlists for
Speaker 2: like dream pop and shoegaze. It was not a dream
Speaker 2: for shoegaze at no.
Speaker 1: It's like a fusion of drum and bass with our
Speaker 1: dreamy nineties sound back then, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Were about it was more about uh, you know, down
Speaker 2: tempo and druma bass with a little bit of dream pop.
Speaker 2: So good.
Speaker 1: I'm glad people are the definition for many for these
Speaker 1: genres of is the wider one that I embraced other
Speaker 1: than the narrow one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, since I wrote these notes down,
Speaker 2: we did get a few more comments. And I do
Speaker 2: remember someone saying, someone saying on boss Mode on on
Speaker 2: the YouTube, so Tokyo kid, we said, no way, you
Speaker 2: guys are still dropping.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 2: No way you guys can tell you that.
Speaker 1: Darn yeah, still making me. You can't stop me?
Speaker 2: And then someone else I can't see corpses love music awesome,
Speaker 2: said all forever love this band. Oh thanks, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: know people are nice sometimes. Yeah, some people on the
Speaker 2: internet are and nice. Anyone watching the show, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: guess you're probably one of the good ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you've made it this far, especially I know, seriously,
Speaker 1: we're just like, I don't know, let's see, oh this more.
Speaker 2: I like to check to see if so my FM's
Speaker 2: lush channel has added any of the songs that I
Speaker 2: send over. Yeah, and it looks like he hasn't been
Speaker 2: adding any music for like months. However, I was shocked
Speaker 2: and delighted to see the love. Sparrows is currently number
Speaker 2: one in the top thirty artists by spins and by listeners.
Speaker 1: Number one, number one, Oh yeah, let's have some Let's
Speaker 1: have some wine in that celebrate special occasion. Number one
Speaker 1: another chart. Hell yeah, we are number one.
Speaker 2: He's still playing the call, He's yeah, he's still spinning
Speaker 2: the angib solo album from twenty thirteen, where it's like
Speaker 2: it's like number fourteen on their top forever in the
Speaker 2: top thirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so funny, cool, some good work on that album.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that is a good album. I still like
Speaker 2: that album.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one where I tried to push our sound
Speaker 1: forward more than I took more chances.
Speaker 2: I guess actually, like some fun, we do something fresh different.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I guess the only other thing really to mention
Speaker 2: is the fact that that we're continuing on our journey
Speaker 2: of releasing the music under your original band name, Love
Speaker 2: Spirals Downwards.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if you're looking for boss Mode or any of
Speaker 2: the other recent singles on like Apple and Spotify and
Speaker 2: YadA YadA, and you're like, hey, how come it's not up,
Speaker 2: make sure to look for it under Love Spirals Downwards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and all the streaming services and on band Camp.
Speaker 1: You can find it on either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we still have two accounts. See the thing is now,
Speaker 2: the Love Spirals Downwards account is currently like a pro account,
Speaker 2: so we could upload things under many different band names,
Speaker 2: like you know, you could put a Ryan Lum song
Speaker 2: up Ryan, but to be on there, you know, something
Speaker 2: to think about. Okay, but yeah, so it's still I
Speaker 2: want and I still put love Sprouls on there just
Speaker 2: to differentiate. But then it's also we still have our
