Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Auntie and I'm Brian and Weird Love Spirals.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. We are back after a five
Speaker 2: year hiatus.
Speaker 3: That's crazy considering we did our first Chilling with Love
Speaker 3: Spirals podcast I'm guessing like twenty ish years ago, so
Speaker 3: two thousand.
Speaker 1: And five, so next year would actually be the anniversary.
Speaker 1: Really back then, we started with like twelve minute audio
Speaker 1: podcasts and it kind of grew as time went on.
Speaker 1: We thought like five years ago that we would start
Speaker 1: a big cast, did two, and then pod faded. We
Speaker 1: did kind of a Chilling the Love Spirals like nine
Speaker 1: months ago for the Flux Deluxe Edition.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was Yeah, that was huge. Chan it was
Speaker 3: me answering questions that you asked me, but you're just
Speaker 3: off camera, so as us talking together, we just edited
Speaker 3: your part out and just kept mine because it was,
Speaker 3: you know, for LSD, Love Spirals Downard. This past August eleventh,
Speaker 3: we released the twenty five year anniversary of our classic
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety eight album Flux. In fact, we released it
Speaker 3: on the exact date of the twenty fifth anniversary. But
Speaker 3: there are we're back because we have so much news.
Speaker 3: As you might expect after so many years of not
Speaker 3: talking tout no, So let's start with the biggest latest news. Okay,
Speaker 3: we have a brand news song and music video for
Speaker 3: a song that we've been working on over the past
Speaker 3: like six odd mounts. It's called Newmanon.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think we were actually recording this in the deep
Speaker 1: of winter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, January. I went pretty crazy. I mean I pulled
Speaker 3: out a lot of tricks I've never really put into
Speaker 3: a song before.
Speaker 1: I'm really happy with how the music and the lyrics
Speaker 1: turned out, and I'm also really excited about how the
Speaker 1: video turned out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it all came out wonderfully, I mean crazy. I'm
Speaker 3: not just saying this to promote it. I think it's
Speaker 3: one of the best songs that I've ever made, that
Speaker 3: we've ever made. This is like one of my like
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look back, I'm sure like years down the
Speaker 3: line and that Newmanon is one of the best.
Speaker 2: Songs I made hopefully.
Speaker 1: So. I mean we have been known to say that
Speaker 1: every time an album comes out, but for real, this time,
Speaker 1: this is it's so good.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy about it.
Speaker 3: Kind of goes back to the thing I'm kind of
Speaker 3: good at. I guess thing I've been doing for most
Speaker 3: of my career is kind of like fusing different styles
Speaker 3: of music, even genres together, very seamlessly, genres you wouldn't
Speaker 3: think would be able to coexist all that while, like
Speaker 3: say on LSD's Flocks, bringing in like breakbeats, drum and
Speaker 3: bass with like dream pop and shoegaze, same kind of
Speaker 3: thing here, bringing the ethereal shoegaze dream pop thing and
Speaker 3: merging it seamlessly with kind of more like trap I guess,
Speaker 3: like an atmospheric trap.
Speaker 2: Sah, yeah, I don't know. It's all that you'rs listening
Speaker 2: to music around the house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really, it really is a crazy genre combination,
Speaker 1: but you won't even think about.
Speaker 2: When you're listening to it. It just makes sense, I think, right. Yeah, anyway, just.
Speaker 3: Listen to it, let it take you where it takes.
Speaker 2: You so completely.
Speaker 1: I mean. So, if you haven't already, please check out
Speaker 1: Newman on on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or here
Speaker 1: of course on YouTube music, and soon it will be
Speaker 1: on band camp as well.
Speaker 3: And if you've bought any music of ours on band Camp,
Speaker 3: you're on our list there, which means we want you
Speaker 3: to attend. We're going to do what we've done before
Speaker 3: for Love Spiles Dwars listening parties, which is kind of
Speaker 3: like a live stream chat sort of thing where we'll
Speaker 3: playing all three songs and we could talk with you,
Speaker 3: like the chat.
Speaker 2: Song that was a spoiler. Oh that was a spoiler.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: So he said he wanted to do a listening party,
Speaker 1: and I was like, one song is not going to
Speaker 1: be a very great listening party, like.
Speaker 3: Over the four minutes that it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then I was like, well, you know a lot
Speaker 1: of the bands that we like, when they put out
Speaker 1: a single, they put an instrumental mix on it.
Speaker 2: So I suggested that.
Speaker 3: To you, and I went to town and made a really
Speaker 3: ethereal guitar focused instrumental, really brought the guitars up, just
Speaker 3: put more sparkle and magic on them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just listening to it before. This is pretty,
Speaker 1: but little extra synthesizer too. Yeah.
Speaker 3: We didn't stop there, and we came up. She actually
Speaker 3: came up with that said, hey, why don't you try
Speaker 3: to make like a drum and bass remix of this song?
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, that's not a bad idea. I mean
Speaker 3: I've been known to like fuse drum and bass with
Speaker 3: other styles, like I said.
Speaker 1: Earlier, and after all this flux stuff we've been doing lately,
Speaker 1: which we talk about, you're in drummer base. So in
Speaker 1: my mind I was imagining it was going to be
Speaker 1: like our ecstatic ype or something where he would just
Speaker 1: cut out like a couple of samples and lay it
Speaker 1: over some really atmospheric long thing.
Speaker 2: But now he did not do that.
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to do that, But once
Speaker 3: I started getting to work on it, I just took
Speaker 3: the same song basically and pulled a lot of the
Speaker 3: trap stuff out basically as far as drums and scents,
Speaker 3: and laid in a whole new like breakbeat drumming bass
Speaker 3: song and then produced it accordingly for it. It just it's
Speaker 3: weird how just so effortlessly and naturally became a cool
Speaker 3: sound in drum atmospheric drum and bass song too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then I came in and I was like
Speaker 1: I had some specific ideas too, like about how to
Speaker 1: do like a stutter vocal that went all through it,
Speaker 1: and a couple of other things, and I totally revamped
Speaker 1: the pre chorus like anyways, we had so much fun.
Speaker 1: It's not even out yet though it's not even out yet.
Speaker 2: But so that's the thing.
Speaker 1: So now with three songs, we could have a really
Speaker 1: nice band camp release and listening party, like something worth attending,
Speaker 1: so you can look.
Speaker 3: Forward to that. Yeah, and you don't have to get
Speaker 3: these on band Camp. We're going to release all the
Speaker 3: newman On remixes and instrumentals out on the major streaming
Speaker 3: music streaming services too.
Speaker 2: There might also be another music video on ball.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it might be just a little thing. Just
Speaker 3: want to make it fun.
Speaker 1: So yeah, speaking of music videos, I really hope that
Speaker 1: you check out the music video here on YouTube as.
Speaker 3: Well for Noumenon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for Neumanon, because you know, we had a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. You will definitely recognize the location it was
Speaker 1: filmed in. We haven't really done a video quite to
Speaker 1: this degree, I would say since the Smile video where
Speaker 1: you had me go out and film you doing guitar
Speaker 1: on location.
Speaker 2: All these different things. We didn't go out on location,
Speaker 2: but we made the most of the location that we had,
Speaker 2: that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Pretty much turned this room into like a moody like
Speaker 3: I don't know, club or a recording studio or something.
Speaker 3: But you'll check it out hopefully. So yeah, we'll put
Speaker 3: the links down there please. It's I think it's one
Speaker 3: of the best videos we've made before.
Speaker 2: Hopefully not the best one ever. Hopefully we can keep going.
Speaker 2: This is the best.
Speaker 3: Song learning as far as videos, we keep learning more.
Speaker 3: We get more skills each time we try.
Speaker 1: More about production too, in both video and audio. So
Speaker 1: even though we may be old farts, Ryan will be
Speaker 1: fifty seven this year, believe it or not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gen X, the same age as Kurt Cobaine. Well
Speaker 3: he would have been.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, we just keep going. Yeah.
Speaker 1: A really old friend of mine said that they were
Speaker 1: impressed to see that I was still so creative at
Speaker 1: this age that most people my age had already given up.
Speaker 2: But I was like, really, I can't not create.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, That's just what I've been doing pretty much
Speaker 3: my whole life, And oh my god, I can't imagine
Speaker 3: me just so I shall stop creating music now. I
Speaker 3: shall not be creative.
Speaker 2: Anyone that'd be sad. I should mention that Newman probably
Speaker 2: would have came out sooner had not a very big
Speaker 2: surprise come into our lives.
Speaker 3: The Love Spouls Spoals Downwards Flux release, which yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I took a little more effort on our part than
Speaker 3: I thought it would. But this is our first. This
Speaker 3: is a huge thing. It's the first time I've ever
Speaker 3: had any of my music, any of my album's pastor
Speaker 3: press whatever, come out on vinyl. And yeah, thig things
Speaker 3: to Bill at Loston, Ohio Records.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the one that reached out via on.
Speaker 3: This project beautiful white vinyl here woo nice yea in
Speaker 3: these liner notes are amazing. I mean I worked with
Speaker 3: the writer from Scene. Yes, he did an amazing job.
Speaker 3: I mean he's so much so. I think Sam from
Speaker 3: Project Records, you know, which released Flecks back in nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety eight. I think Sam is trying to like cajole
Speaker 3: him into like writing like a Project biography or.
Speaker 2: He should that that is a book. His time has come.
Speaker 2: I think Jason, you should totally do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jason has covered a number of your albums in Opus.
Speaker 3: That was great having someone who knew our work, you know,
Speaker 3: as opposed to some guy just getting paid doesn't really care,
Speaker 3: you know, as often happens for music reviews. And it's
Speaker 3: would be cool. Is this never released before photograph that
Speaker 3: was taken by our like the same by Stewart, the
Speaker 3: person who shot the do a photography for for Flux,
Speaker 3: shot this around at the same time too, thinking it
Speaker 3: might appear in the original nineteen ninety eight CD release,
Speaker 3: but it didn't, but made it on to hear it too.
Speaker 3: It's got like the credit notes anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's quickly show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that blurry face there on the front.
Speaker 1: That's Ryan and in the back is Kristen had a
Speaker 1: lyricist and singer from Psyche and Ring.
Speaker 3: We'll put the links to to get this vinyl. It
Speaker 3: sounds really good. William did a really fantastic job on
Speaker 3: all aspects of the production, the visual and worked with
Speaker 3: a proper vinyl master and engineer in a proper final
Speaker 3: pressing place and it sounds.
Speaker 2: Rad thanks to everyone who's already bought it. By the way, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: Done really well. So if you've never heard Flux, it
Speaker 3: was what I was referring to earlier in this p
Speaker 3: podcast is fusion of like breakbeat, atmospheric drum and bass
Speaker 3: with my traditional low sparals downwards sound of the ethereal
Speaker 3: atmospheric dream pop, little shoegaze. So newmanon our new song
Speaker 3: is a great follow up to Flux. Strangely, it wasn't
Speaker 3: planned that way, having that electronic you know, like a
Speaker 3: contemporary electronic genre fused in with my wheelhouse stuff I've
Speaker 3: been doing for all these years. And the reaction to
Speaker 3: Newmanon has been amazing. We've been added to like like
Speaker 3: three hundred plus playlists on Spotify.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe more. I'm not even sure.
Speaker 1: It's it's been doing great and we're so thankful we
Speaker 1: haven't We don't even have a promotions team or anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just came out with last week on Friday, Yeah, Friday,
Speaker 3: and here we are a few days later. The music
Speaker 3: video hasn't, as we're sitting right here, hasn't been released
Speaker 3: to the public at that's tomorrow. It's just doing all
Speaker 3: this just through getting all this attention, just through releasing
Speaker 3: it to our followers.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you, hard to you and also too.
Speaker 3: Just last year, we did a remix for Project Records,
Speaker 3: my you know, old label.
Speaker 2: We had so much fun that.
Speaker 3: I know, I've been saying the best best be seriously,
Speaker 3: when we did a remix for one of their great
Speaker 3: electronic synth pop dance artist Allen Electronica, he has this
Speaker 3: cool song the Saint Love and let let us know
Speaker 3: that they're looking for a remixers. Yes, yes, I want
Speaker 3: to remix this name Love, and I was working on it.
Speaker 3: I remember finally said Alan a mix up. I was
Speaker 3: really scared because I sad him. I think this is
Speaker 3: the best remix I've ever known in my life. He
Speaker 3: wrote back, and he was just like blown away, like
Speaker 3: so much so. When Project finally released this Ellen Electronica
Speaker 3: Remixes EP, they chose our song, the remix of this
Speaker 3: they Love to be the single, the single for Spotify's right.
Speaker 1: That would probably it was part of what got the
Speaker 1: ball rolling.
Speaker 2: If you wanted to do the more like.
Speaker 3: Dark electronic and shoegazer dream pop mixing, check out the
Speaker 3: link to it. It's a cool song. I me, it's
Speaker 3: got all those genres I just mentioned. Plus it's got
Speaker 3: like some like deep house going on too. And it
Speaker 3: was cool having Alan's samples, all his audio just there
Speaker 3: for me to grab and to start working with and
Speaker 3: combining our sound on top of it. I think it
Speaker 3: really I got set the bar high for us. We
Speaker 3: got it's got our momentum going production wise, which led
Speaker 3: to why I think newmanon sounds in my opinion like
Speaker 3: so one of the best productions I've ever made.
Speaker 2: Wow. All right.
Speaker 3: Circling back to the promotions for Flux, I did release
Speaker 3: about like a month or two ago a video of
Speaker 3: me and here jamming live on my one of my
Speaker 3: guitars to the.
Speaker 4: Song Nova, and I was wearing a vintage from nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety eight ninety nine of Flux Love Spiles Downwards on
Speaker 4: Flus T shirt and a lot.
Speaker 3: Of people were asking like whoa, Like, where can I
Speaker 3: get that? I'm going, well, they don't exist anymore.
Speaker 1: Technically, but yeah, Well I decided I would just recreate
Speaker 1: the Flux T shirt for people who wanted it, and
