Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Angie and I'm Ryan and we're Love Spirals.
Speaker 2: Here we are back for another Chilling with Love Spirals podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've got lots of news, as you can imagine.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember how long it's been since that
Speaker 1: last one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, after Newmanon right, Yeah, yeah, which is a few
Speaker 2: months ago.
Speaker 1: Anyways, the big, big, big news is that one week ago, yesterday,
Speaker 1: we released a new song.
Speaker 2: It's the podcast. Yeah, we're really excited. It's called not
Speaker 2: Myself and that, strangely is recorded around the time of Newmanon.
Speaker 2: I had this big creative burst back in the cold
Speaker 2: months in winter early this year. I kind of wrote
Speaker 2: the two and we recorded the two around the same time,
Speaker 2: and strangely decided to go with newman On first, even
Speaker 2: though we finished. If we finished Not Myself first, that's
Speaker 2: the same thing. That was the first moment I thought
Speaker 2: NEWMANA would be a good comeback song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad we want newman On first.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like it's you know, really solid songwriting and everything. And
Speaker 1: thank you everyone who like added your Spotify and playlist
Speaker 1: or played.
Speaker 2: The thousands of you. That was amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we put out the the remix that
Speaker 1: we hinted at on the last podcast, druma based mix.
Speaker 2: And then the instrumental guitar focus.
Speaker 1: To this day, the instrumental guitar Focus is only on
Speaker 1: band camp, so if you haven't heard it yet, you
Speaker 1: can go check it.
Speaker 2: Out over on band camp there.
Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, so not myself. I just I kind
Speaker 1: of just so much time was going by after Newman On,
Speaker 1: and like life kept changing and moving, and I was like,
Speaker 1: let's just get it out, let's just get it out.
Speaker 1: So I just really quickly got together and I got
Speaker 1: that album art, which the album art for Not Myself
Speaker 1: is was actually one of the ones I had pitched
Speaker 1: Ryan for Newmanon, and then we decided to go. I
Speaker 1: think what we went with was way better though your
Speaker 1: moody photographs.
Speaker 2: It went along with the whole the video concept. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just a consistent theme there, yeah yeah, yeah, perfect goes
Speaker 2: along with the vertical format flower based video you made
Speaker 2: for it too, So again a consistent theme sort of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know we're getting a little better.
Speaker 2: Yeah you learned something once you're hit fifty seven years old.
Speaker 1: That yeah, so not myself. I feel like it really
Speaker 1: goes with the change of the seasons too.
Speaker 2: That was one advantage of waiting a few months and
Speaker 2: releasing it now if we got our winter kind of STOs.
Speaker 2: It's cold here finally in southern California. Yeah, at the
Speaker 2: at the equinox that we're having now, the autumnal equinox,
Speaker 2: so it's kind of nice to have the cold weather
Speaker 2: coming for a lot of us. And the song I
Speaker 2: think is I wrote it during some really cold weather,
Speaker 2: so I think it's starting to fill the moods again
Speaker 2: now that I had when I wrote the song when we.
Speaker 1: I know you were not the only one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I came, I came up the music. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean I was thinking I was making all the music together. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to diminish your amazing vocals on this
Speaker 2: song at all. Don't give it right.
Speaker 1: People don't really know how songs get made here a
Speaker 1: little tiny Yeah.
Speaker 2: It usually starts off with a loop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this one's got that great piano loop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really start off with that piano sound. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Then I started laying stuff. I think once I got
Speaker 2: the acoustic guitar and the and the drum beat, the
Speaker 2: song is really starting to take form and it's the
Speaker 2: more stuff like bass, guitarmospherics.
Speaker 1: As I recall, I think it came very shortly after
Speaker 1: doing that remix for Trying to Go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we went right into this song after that.
Speaker 2: That was for Project Records, and I'm really proud. I
Speaker 2: think that's the best remix I've ever done. And and
Speaker 2: she's gotten on it too. Of course that's the Love
Speaker 2: Spirals remix. I gotta get her voice on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you were still kind of thinking like in
Speaker 1: this kind of like retro really loop bass, like a
Speaker 1: strong narrative lyric thing. Yeah, so you said to me,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about maybe could you do something that's
Speaker 1: like not such a strong like lyric based vocal And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I could totally do that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's it's something that's more like samples like
Speaker 2: I would have done in nineteen ninety nine or two
Speaker 2: thousand and five or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay, that sounds fun. And the thing is like,
Speaker 1: so I keep a lot of lyrics. I used to
Speaker 1: write them in a book, but now I write them
Speaker 1: on my phone for obvious reasons. So I just so
Speaker 1: I just start looking through there and I have like
Speaker 1: little snatches of poetry. Sometimes I think of a line
Speaker 1: or two or maybe one verse, but I don't finish
Speaker 1: the whole song. So I was like just looking for
Speaker 1: something that I thought was really evocative and would tell
Speaker 1: a story and the like the least amount of words
Speaker 1: possible basically. So I found that I don't know who
Speaker 1: I am, but I know I'm not myself, which I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to say. I do not remember writing it. And
Speaker 1: the thing is with notes too. As soon as you
Speaker 1: update a note, it changes the date, so I don't
Speaker 1: always know the date that I wrote it either. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so I found that, and so we started We started
Speaker 1: just recording kind of like ad libs, yeah or less.
Speaker 2: Just had to come and just sing off the top
Speaker 2: of your head, like your lyrics and this whatever stuff
Speaker 2: you know, came up and I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. We came with it the hums and
Speaker 1: that once.
Speaker 2: We get which once we get a bunch of stuff recorded,
Speaker 2: we'll just go and edit it and start playing with it,
Speaker 2: and then that'll start determining the structure of the song. Oh,
Speaker 2: I should have a new section here, breakdown the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So and then I think we kind of
Speaker 1: learned from some of our other experiences recently, like it's
Speaker 1: cool to get something like really evocative right up front, yeah,
Speaker 1: starting with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what she means is, I don't wait for the cool,
Speaker 2: Like people don't make listeners wait like thirty or sixty seconds.
Speaker 1: Of something cool, something we've always kind of.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, that may have been cool in
Speaker 2: the eighties and nineties and stuff, and now people have
Speaker 2: sort of attention spans know I they're going to click
Speaker 2: next on Spotify.
Speaker 1: Or I know we don't want you guys, So it
Speaker 1: would make.
Speaker 2: Sure at the beginning, within the first five to ten seconds,
Speaker 2: listeners know there's gonna be some cool stuff, even though
Speaker 2: we're starting kind of chill.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we did that on the on the Saint Love,
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, let's put that really cool vocal right
Speaker 1: up front, so they know there's gonna be some ethereal
Speaker 1: vocals that it's going to take a while to get into.
Speaker 2: But they're going to be there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Because Yeah, on Alan Electronico's original song, it's just like
Speaker 2: a robot.
Speaker 1: Voice, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Not a beautiful ethere woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not even sure if that robot voice is
Speaker 1: a wonder if it's like him singing yeah with format
Speaker 1: shifts everything, you don't know.
Speaker 2: Kind of crazy vot Cooder, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So that was fun to lay in all
Speaker 1: those different vocals, and you know, we tried to affect
Speaker 1: them all in a way that made them all stand out.
Speaker 1: So it ends up forming like a really nice kind
Speaker 1: of like a Rondelay style.
Speaker 2: Our production styles have been evolving over the years too.
Speaker 2: That said, even though there's a lot of new tricks song,
Speaker 2: a lot of them, really, when I listen to it,
Speaker 2: I really I don't know about you guys. You guys
Speaker 2: can comment down, but I feel like I'm like taking
Speaker 2: back like twenty twenty five years or something like that soul.
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't sound fully retro, but it kind
Speaker 2: of does. Live with the drum beat, the chill out
Speaker 2: kind of down tempo BPM and stuff. It reminds me
Speaker 2: just my past, I tell you. Sometimes I tell you
Speaker 2: I just visualize walking around like San Francisco in the
Speaker 2: late nineties or something like that. So that's my personal memories.
Speaker 2: I'm sure your guys will be different. If you're especially
Speaker 2: if you're older and you have you know, adultish memories
Speaker 2: from the nineteen nineties and stuff for two thousands.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of our listeners are older.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, like I suppose that Newman on, even
Speaker 2: though has some retro references as far as sounds or genre,
Speaker 2: I consider it very kind of modern sound but our song.
Speaker 2: But yeah, not myself, the production, Yeah, not myself. I
Speaker 2: just I feel it's just like my like a beautiful
Speaker 2: homage to the past and without sounding like trying to
Speaker 2: like you know, like you hear some eighties bands are
Speaker 2: really trying to be eighties it's kind of cheesy. Not
Speaker 2: like that. Just my most sincere, honest tribute to that era,
Speaker 2: which one not myself for me.
Speaker 1: For me, I think it sounds like the early two thousan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, a sincere, honest
Speaker 2: tribute to that not that that was not even my attention,
Speaker 2: but once the song started coming together, I knew, I'm
Speaker 2: a I'm gonna pull from that part of my brain.
Speaker 1: What's that one band called like Dijon and oh well.
Speaker 2: We could put a screenshot of that album. Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a song on there that influenced me too, us from
Speaker 2: that era too, that had like a moody minor keyd
Speaker 2: piano around that bpm, a little chill break beat like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a great recipe for a beautiful, like
Speaker 2: you know, down Temple Electronica song.
Speaker 1: It runs me a little a little bit of earlier
Speaker 1: Massive Attack. Yeah, yeah, there's so many those bands.
Speaker 2: Jen Ckson grew up in the time we did You'll.
Speaker 2: You'll used to be able to hear these references in
Speaker 2: the song and hear these subtle references.
Speaker 1: Was realizing there's another funny thing that connects the artwork
Speaker 1: of Newmanon and the Newmanon remix actually and not myself,
Speaker 1: and that's that they are all photographs that were taken
Speaker 1: on the Disneyland resort property.
Speaker 2: You would never know for sure, like for Newmanon. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the cover and the videos. I remember we want one
Speaker 2: night to Disney California Adventure with one of my cameras
Speaker 2: that have more control over than like like than an
Speaker 2: iPhone or something like that. Leave the like I leave
Speaker 2: the shutter open a long time and just get all
Speaker 2: the lights and move the camera to get those cool images.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we made the video based on like stills
Speaker 2: I took and I could there's ways I can manipulate
Speaker 2: the video in my the photos, the still photos of
Speaker 2: my video editor to get them to move and do
Speaker 2: more interesting stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So let's tell them it's from that was the Inside outride,
Speaker 1: which is one of our favorites, such a good movie emotional.
Speaker 2: Yeah that Yeah, and a couple from Jumping Jellyfish.
Speaker 1: Yeah too far away Yeah funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you would never guess it looks like it went.
Speaker 2: Some are really crazy and surreal, not always Disney California,
Speaker 2: Adventure at Night, and for not myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I took some. I took a photo of an
Speaker 1: extreme close up from one of the many little garden areas.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was the Flowers ride outside of
Speaker 1: the Casey Junior Train.
Speaker 2: Ride in Adventureland.
Speaker 1: Yeah and so yeah, So I had the photo of
Speaker 1: the flowers, and then I tried running a couple of
Speaker 1: different filters on it. And the funny thing is I
Speaker 1: went back to like try to recreate that again in
Speaker 1: a larger size, and I don't remember where or how
Speaker 1: I got that cool effect anymore, but anyways, I love
Speaker 1: the way it turned out. It looks very it looks
Speaker 1: very silk screen. It kind of yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: it has kind of a sixties look.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something. Yeah, I getting kind of retro even
Speaker 2: older than like the references I was talking about music
Speaker 2: like it back even older.
Speaker 1: I agree, yeah, and I like I like those colors
Speaker 1: a lot, even though the flowers are clearly spring flowers,
Speaker 1: like they're poppies and some other things. With that, with
Speaker 1: the colors, it ends up making it look a little
Speaker 1: more autumnal. So it's nice for now. You know.
Speaker 2: That makes sense that we got these cool images at
Speaker 2: Disney then, because like they spend so much, like millions
Speaker 2: to make everything look so cool. There are the lighting
Speaker 2: and everything, so your average chump like us can go
Speaker 2: there and take We couldn't set that kind of lighting
Speaker 2: and garden up ourselves.
Speaker 1: We just go and maybe we wouldn't.
Speaker 2: We wouldn't. Yeah, it's a lot of work and money,
Speaker 2: So it makes sense, you know. I just go there
Speaker 2: and go somewhere beautiful in nature, just somemer just that's
Speaker 2: inspiring and beautiful to take yea photos there and see
Speaker 2: what you can do with the thing.
Speaker 1: I've relied so much speaking of like being you know,
Speaker 1: creative beautiful. These so much of our artwork and videos
Speaker 1: has had to do with like the beach and the coasts.
Speaker 1: So it was kind of fun to do something different
Speaker 1: on these last two, including the music video too.
Speaker 2: For Newmanon had no beach or yeah, that was shot
Speaker 2: in this room pretty much you know that except for
Speaker 2: those images shot at Disney. But yeah, I was a
Speaker 2: music video just kind of came together. I just had
Speaker 2: some kind of concepts. I just had maybe the first
Speaker 2: like thirty seconds, I showed it to Angie a concept
Speaker 2: of the swirling lights and me strumming the guitar, and
Speaker 2: from there she saw what I want to do. She go,
Speaker 2: I know what to do. We just came back and
Speaker 2: banged out that video.
Speaker 1: We did it really quickly. But that was when when
Speaker 1: you showed me like the photo and the video thing
Speaker 1: how they're connected. I go, oh, these flowers are out
Speaker 1: like currently we're going with yours was like way better
Speaker 1: and I really love how all of it turned out, But.
Speaker 2: Not myself though my song the video I was gonna
Speaker 2: say it goes back to our beach.
Speaker 1: It does cost but not as much about the water
Speaker 1: or the clouds and more about.
Speaker 2: The flowers to tie with the cover.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we yeah, we went on a couple of
Speaker 1: like flowers strewn walks during the spring. And I had
Speaker 1: another I had another video that I thought I was
Speaker 1: going to use for a music video where we were
Speaker 1: walking through there was like flowers on both sides of
Speaker 1: us were kind of like pushing through them. But this
Speaker 1: one that I shot, that was I shot that one.
Speaker 1: It like brought in broad daylight. And I thought this
Speaker 1: one that was shot as sun was going down in
Speaker 1: crystal more moody, And to be honest, I had already
Speaker 1: edited it before. It's just like a vlog, so I
Speaker 1: just pretty much had to swap out the music and
Speaker 1: make a few tweaks here and there so exactly fit
Speaker 1: this song. I thought, you know, we spent so much
Speaker 1: time making the new min On video like this one.
Speaker 1: We just were strapped for time, and like, this is nice. Nice,
Speaker 1: it has a vibe.
Speaker 2: It's in vertical format, first vertical format music video too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool. You know I have one more. I
Speaker 1: have one more art secret Disneyland.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever had a reason to
Speaker 1: tell you guys this, but the the photo on the
Speaker 1: cover of Temporal, the Love calls downwards like greater. Really,
Speaker 1: this is kind of a funny. But anyways, that was
Speaker 1: shot inside of uh the Alice in Wonderland, ride.
Speaker 2: Back in whatever, and and future spariler potential hint here.
Speaker 2: I've shot some more like cool lighting things in in
Speaker 2: the Disney parks recently too, So we'll see they get you.
Speaker 1: We'll see see yeah, we'll see. Yeah. Anyways, so those
Speaker 1: are secrets, those are most of them. Oh, speaking of
Speaker 1: love Spallows downwards, you.
Speaker 2: Guys should know that the Flux vinyl is has been
Speaker 2: out for a while now and there is now a
Speaker 2: They had to do a second press records. It's pretty
Speaker 2: much sold out, so second pressing was made and they
Speaker 2: got the copies in all right.
Speaker 1: Yes, they just started shipping on the last week.
Speaker 2: It's got all these bitch and liner notes and new
Speaker 2: on the inside and everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if you are if you're putting off getting it,
Speaker 2: you're too busy when it came out. One of the
Speaker 2: fans his life is just too crazy. How is that
Speaker 2: right now? Anyway, Yeah, we'll put the link down there
Speaker 2: for the second pressing. I think this is gonna be
Speaker 2: it once.
Speaker 1: It's good. That's what Bill says.
Speaker 2: This is it, So now get it now before it's gone.
Speaker 2: Forever because you know, probably never happened again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not, probably not, probably not, you know, especially
Speaker 1: it seems like on Instagram and maybe Facebook to a
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, like, what other albums are
Speaker 1: you going to press? It's like, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could pict your ideas the Lost in Ohio or comment.
Speaker 2: Down below here. I will probably just keep working with
Speaker 2: them because vinyl mastering, pressing and artwork production or and
Speaker 2: distribution is not our thing.
Speaker 1: Here, So especially distribut it's great to work.
Speaker 2: With a partner who specializes in that. So yeah, comment
Speaker 2: to us and we'll share our results with them.
Speaker 1: Spain, which that reminds me. One of the reasons why
Speaker 1: I Lost in Ohio really wanted to do a second
Speaker 1: pressing was because they started getting a lot more requests.
Speaker 2: From store stores. What was hitting them?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so all these stores were asking for copies and
Speaker 1: he's like, I only have like tests, like what should
Speaker 1: I do? So yeah, so I'm not sure how many
Speaker 1: he pressed, but you know, he pressed enough to.
Speaker 2: Fill or two hundred I think, So it depends how
Speaker 2: many of the stores order. That'll be how many you
Speaker 2: guys can buy some saying I'm not trying to sell them,
Speaker 2: but I just wanting to make sure if you are
Speaker 2: a true fan, you wouldn't have Flux on vinyl. I
Speaker 2: personally wouldn't delay because once they're gone, they're gone.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like there's probably only five hundred copies
Speaker 1: total in.
Speaker 2: The world, I think so, plus some test pressing, so
Speaker 2: maybe five hundred and ten or something like that. We
Speaker 2: have a few here, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I just remember one other Flux factoid that happened during
Speaker 1: this time.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, cool.
Speaker 1: This DJ Avalon Emerson. I think she's also a musician
Speaker 1: as well, but she released All Night Long in London,
Speaker 1: a DJ set she released on Apple. You can actually
Speaker 1: watch the DJ set on YouTube, and pretty early on
Speaker 1: her set she played City Moon. Yeah, yeah, that's kind
Speaker 1: of yeah.
Speaker 2: I've heard Citymun's got like a weird resurgence lately. I
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. Yeah, the same thing happened
Speaker 2: to the Cocktail Twins act like see Swallow Me from
Speaker 2: their Herald budd album Melody See Swallow Me, because it's
Speaker 2: having this weird resurgence and for Love spirals Downwards at
Speaker 2: City Yeah.
Speaker 1: City Moon was on so many playlists on Spotify. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just trying to remember. There was also a
Speaker 1: musician who who had played Coachella, who had done like
Speaker 1: she'd done, like a backstage interview. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: is there any like music that you've been into late
Speaker 1: that She's like, Oh, I really love flux from those
Speaker 1: City Moon, and a lot of people were tagging us
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: My friend Daniel, he was at a concert recently. I
Speaker 2: don't know what band it was. I never heard of him,
Speaker 2: but he sent me a video was going on. You
Speaker 2: know how bands will have a playlist of songs before
Speaker 2: they come on. Oh yeah, they were playing City Moon
Speaker 2: for like, yeah, a thousand people or whatever at the show.
Speaker 2: I'll see if I can dig that up.
Speaker 1: City Moon is Ryan's like number one song. Apparently everyone
Speaker 1: knows that one.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a cool, little poppy song. I guess
Speaker 2: not my best work ever, but I'm not like ashamed
Speaker 2: of anything like that, so that's cool.
Speaker 1: I kind of lost track on how many playlists Newmanon's beever.
Speaker 2: Last time you said yeah on Spotify once, like it
Speaker 2: was shared on over a thousand playlists. It's like, wow,
Speaker 2: I kind of lost jack, But yeah.
Speaker 1: It was like seven hundred of the new ones on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's there. People are enjoying the music, and that's
Speaker 2: that's why we do it. I mean, first of all,
Speaker 2: I mean I just make music because I just can't.
Speaker 2: I have to make sure I can't stop making music.
Speaker 2: So that's the primary reward, just like kind of personal or.
Speaker 1: Just as it was in the early day when you
Speaker 1: were making music, before you even got hooked up with projects,
Speaker 1: they were making music for fun. In fact, I have
Speaker 1: found I have found a sett of mixed downs of
Speaker 1: his pre Suzanne music. In fact, two songs that he
Speaker 1: was singing on I was like threatening to release.
Speaker 2: I don't need to be famous or anything like that,
Speaker 2: but just the fact that other people are getting something
Speaker 2: out of it. A lot of people say they made
Speaker 2: babies to songs. Yeah, and you and I've made together.
Speaker 2: That's cool. But yeah, I'm good. People's lives are getting better.
Speaker 1: People played our music at their wedding.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's just hard to imagine, you know how, you
Speaker 2: know all that going on. Imagine if you're a huge
Speaker 2: artist too. This happens on a scale we can't even imagine.
Speaker 2: But yeah, just I'm honored and humble.
Speaker 1: Either we're happy not to have like that much attention.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know that much pressure.
Speaker 2: Hey, there's so and so.
Speaker 1: We've had tastes of that through our various things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as been micro celebrities and various scenes and stuff.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, because we have more music coming. By the way,
Speaker 1: we've been working on several We have a least three songs.
Speaker 2: I think one is really for pretty far into production,
Speaker 2: maybe about halfway finish, and it's going to fit in
Speaker 2: beautifully with the mood of newmnon and not myself.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be.
Speaker 2: If we hadn't waited, we could have had this great
Speaker 2: three song EP, but no, we don't like that. We
Speaker 2: want to really songs like that as quickly as we come,
Speaker 2: instead of hoarding them and people forget about it and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So that's gonna be our new mode,
Speaker 2: you know, from here on out. You know. Now that's
Speaker 2: the modern way of operating. I think it works well
Speaker 2: betther than hoarding songs for three years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just different. When you're working on one song,
Speaker 1: you can just really caress it, let all your attention
Speaker 1: span on it. When you're working on an album, you know,
Speaker 1: it's maybe maybe one or two songs like that's good enough.
Speaker 1: We need to move on. We need to get these
Speaker 1: nine to ten songs, and nine to ten songs these
Speaker 1: days isn't really even an album like people will say,
Speaker 1: EP eight songs on it. So things have changed a
Speaker 1: lot in the time you've been releasing albums.
Speaker 2: If there's a long time in between the releases for us,
Speaker 2: like several months, that means we're working hard on the songs.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll spend a month mixing a song. You
Speaker 2: don't have that luxury when you're making an album. You
Speaker 2: know you'll get fired or something for being so slow.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of attention to detail, to polish
Speaker 2: songs and make them as as beautiful and professional as
Speaker 2: we can.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, So more of that coming for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So hopefully we'll have this new song for you
Speaker 2: before by the holidays.
Speaker 1: Are hoping that's that's definitely get at least one more song, as.
Speaker 2: Long as our lives don't get too crazy. We've had
Speaker 2: a lot of weird personal things going between us. We're
Speaker 2: doing fine, but just a lot of yes and things breaking.
Speaker 1: Down technology stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Our conditioner doesn't work in the studio as of right now.
Speaker 2: So any we're getting we're getting trying to get our
Speaker 2: thing together. But anyway, assuming we can get over this
Speaker 2: a little hump, yeah, we should be able to resume
Speaker 2: working on the song again pretty soon, like in the
Speaker 2: next week or two, finish it or at least the
Speaker 2: track and mix it and get out to by the holidays.
Speaker 1: Already starting you start thinking about that.
Speaker 2: We got to start thinking the next steps. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: now's the time.
Speaker 1: We're going to do another big, fancy music video and
Speaker 1: we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll say. It depends how much bandwidth we have
Speaker 2: dealing with other things in life too, but we'll get it. Well,
Speaker 2: we promised, because this is a cool song.
Speaker 1: You know, I think I think I could give a teaser, Okay,
Speaker 1: I speaking of music videos, I'm involved with the project
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be coming out next month that I
Speaker 1: collaborated on the lead single and music video for. So
Speaker 1: I won't I guess I won't say anymore, but there
Speaker 1: will be an antib music video and single which is
Speaker 1: quite different from anything that Loves Brawls has ever done.
Speaker 1: That's for sure. It's more experimental, and so that should
Speaker 1: be next month. So I will let you know social media, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and on the website. That's what I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 1: You guys. I've been working so hard on updating. We
Speaker 1: have three practically identical websites.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of on purpose because we had websites
Speaker 2: that were really really they were beautiful, but super not
Speaker 2: fun or easy to update. So now we change the themes,
Speaker 2: we can update them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, while back, GOT changed my aunt to be
Speaker 1: dot com website to a new theme that I felt
Speaker 1: was easier to do what I.
Speaker 2: Need to do, Like, O, hey, this seems cool. It's
Speaker 2: like maybe not, it's pretty, but it's pretty a delter
Speaker 2: but it's older, but it's super easy to update and
Speaker 2: it's really easy to So I changed the band websites
Speaker 2: over to.
Speaker 1: That and Sparls downs. You know. The funny thing is
Speaker 1: like love Sprouls dot com was your first personal website.
Speaker 2: Yeah, back when Love Sproles Dowards happened, I conject I
Speaker 2: got that like way later after the band broke up.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, for.
Speaker 1: Temporal and moving forward, we had love Sprouls dot com,
Speaker 1: but then eventually we got Lows sprawlsdowards dot com. It
Speaker 1: was good to own it and stuff, but like love
Speaker 1: Sprowls and love spellsdowns dot com are very very similar
Speaker 1: at this point, so there's a lot of similar stories.
Speaker 1: So I've been updating both websites with you know, all
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff that's going on right now as well.
Speaker 1: I love sparals downwrooms dot com. I started archiving old
Speaker 1: interviews and stuff because I've got this whole stack of
Speaker 1: like fanzines and magazines and everything that's got loves Paul's
Speaker 1: dowards interviews and reviews and stuff, and I thought, why
Speaker 1: am I holding these here? Like the like the Internet
Speaker 1: would probably want to read these if they, you know,
Speaker 1: if they had access to them. So I've been scanning them.
Speaker 1: And also now that you can really quickly grab text
Speaker 1: from photos and iphotos, I can quickly put a translation
Speaker 1: on there too, so that you know, yeah, so you
Speaker 1: don't have to stare at these little picture I know exactly,
Speaker 1: so AI even cooler. We still have some old newspapers
Speaker 1: from the times you guys are in Mexico and translate.
Speaker 1: I could translate it too, so for the first time ever,
Speaker 1: I know what these articles say, like computer engineers out there.
Speaker 1: But you know, I figured, I guess what makes the
Speaker 1: most sense is to just put them up on the
Speaker 1: date that they or released, you know, the date of
Speaker 1: the newspaper or the data. Yeah, so everything's back dated
Speaker 1: to like nineteen nine, nine ninety seven.
Speaker 2: This cruise and explore the sites if you care to
Speaker 2: see all this information, but I just don't.
Speaker 1: Want to have a little time and other stuff.
Speaker 2: Speaking of websites, and you said, you know people will
Speaker 2: know about that angieb thing coming out next month, how
Speaker 2: will people be able to know about this?
Speaker 1: For sure, I'll post it on antib but I'll also
Speaker 1: post on lovesprouls dot com.
Speaker 2: And how about on social media? A lot of people
Speaker 2: don't go to websites.
Speaker 1: Anymore, we know, I know I heard there supposedly like
Speaker 1: a little RECEI it's like final anyway exactly. But anyways, yeah,
Speaker 1: so what we're Love Spirals official on Instagram? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think Instagram, of all the social yeah sites, is
Speaker 1: probably the coolest. I sometimes update our Twitter, but I
Speaker 1: usually forget, yeah, because we don't really have like a
Speaker 1: following on.
Speaker 2: Twitter now yeah, sometimes worth our time.
Speaker 1: And then Facebook, you know, I'll put it on.
Speaker 2: There too, Love Spirals.
Speaker 1: But yeah, those are the places for sure. We do
Speaker 1: have a love for alls TikTok. But like, I've just
Speaker 1: found it too hard to do band content. We get
Speaker 1: copy right strikes on our own songs. It's so annoying, stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really really not encouraging.
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes I post up to you on
Speaker 1: our YouTube page. I'll post sometimes on the community tab
Speaker 1: if I remember to put stuff.
Speaker 2: So follow and subscribe Love Spirals Official on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's basically.
Speaker 2: Now you've pretty much caught up.
Speaker 1: But Love Spirals I know, yeah, catching up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically.
Speaker 1: I remember last time I was saying that we should
Speaker 1: talk about your thing with like old old gadgets.
Speaker 2: I bet mess around messing around with old like.
Speaker 1: iPods, returning to old.
Speaker 2: Trying to get these like working again and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So that's been kind of a weird little hobby of sorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We've been messing around with old cameras too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a little little metros in our lives.
Speaker 1: I guess I forgot it was today or yesterday. I
Speaker 1: posted that picture of us meeting Sadness and uh at
Speaker 1: dec from the Disney on the old camera that actually
Speaker 1: burnt in the date.
Speaker 2: I turned that off, so fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think he was he was doing a
Speaker 1: live stream for Happy Healthy Beacon, and it was talking
Speaker 1: about like buying stuff on band camp, like, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, the reason that you would want to
Speaker 1: buy something on bandon camp.
Speaker 2: Buy our MP three. So you're streaming on your iPods exactly.
Speaker 2: You can put them on your phones and stuff too,
Speaker 2: but that's what iPods shine out for all your threes
Speaker 2: and stuff. Yeah, or your A A C.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're super high rest. Yeah. And the cool things
Speaker 1: about those is you can plug in your like big head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has headphone jacks. It's cool. So that's what
Speaker 2: I've been doing a little bit, walking around with the
Speaker 2: iPod and some cool studio headphones and enjoy music. Kind
Speaker 2: of nice not to have to wear AirPods.
Speaker 1: Since we saw have our iPods, but you have to
Speaker 1: do some stuff to get it working.
Speaker 2: Yeah, usually batteries and hard drives go. So yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a whole nother if you're interested in just looking up
Speaker 2: on you too. There's a million videos about that.
Speaker 1: We met up with my old band mate, I had
Speaker 1: a band, I had a couple of bands before I
Speaker 1: joined Ryansy. This guy Nick, he still lives near us
Speaker 1: and we get together for old tech stuff sometimes. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're talking about that topic.
Speaker 2: He collects a ton of old like nineties like synthesizer effect. Yeah,
Speaker 2: rent them out and stuff like that. It's pretty wild.
Speaker 2: It's been great. It actually helped me fix some of
Speaker 2: my year. I'm looking right now at my Lexicon P seventy.
Speaker 2: I've had that thing since the days of making flux,
Speaker 2: and the battery for storing presets has been like on
Speaker 2: the it's been whack. I've been. I've been able to
Speaker 2: use the device, but I couldn't store presets tomorrow. I
Speaker 2: just have to dial him in manually every time. But
Speaker 2: any way, Yeah, he was able to hook me up
Speaker 2: to a place that can fix this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't know where to go. So he's
Speaker 2: been a great resource. And now my PCM seventy is
Speaker 2: kicking ass. It's all over Newman on some of the
Speaker 2: really sustaining guitars on Newman. That's the PM seventy old school. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love the Yeah, was.
Speaker 1: It even Nick's business again? Because people can rent stuff,
Speaker 1: don't remember deep.
Speaker 2: We'll text them the show. We'll get it. Just look
Speaker 2: down at the show. If you want to wear like
Speaker 2: retro synse and effects and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Or in recording recording get too.
Speaker 2: Yeah you have some old pro Tows sessions from two
Speaker 2: thousand and one. Yeah, contact them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's how that's I mean, Flex probably would
Speaker 1: not even be here unless we were able to hook
Speaker 1: up with one of his dab machines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you said someone broke.
Speaker 1: His Someone broke his dabmachine. We got our album for
Speaker 1: thinking we'll.
Speaker 2: Get it fixed anyway, Guys, I think that's it. I've
Speaker 2: been saying, I leave any comments down here for us.
Speaker 2: They won't share it if we asked any questions. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but any any questions for us, you know. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: we said before, like if you have seen any vinyl
Speaker 2: come out of any thing we have made, let us know.
Speaker 2: We'd like to see if there's like a consensus out
Speaker 2: there we can share with Loston, Ohio Records.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: But they like to know that data before they invest,
Speaker 2: you know, make investment in it. Yeah.

Speaker 1: and downloading and all that fun stuff.
