Love Spirals Downwards Shares Behind-the-Scenes of 1998 Album ‘Flux’—Pioneering Fusion of Dream Pop and Drum & Bass
Love Spirals Downwards have shared behind-the-scenes insights into the creation of their 1998 album “Flux.”
Formed by Ryan Lum and Suzanne Perry, the duo were formerly signed to Projekt Records and earned widespread acclaim within the 1990s ethereal wave and dream pop scene. Among their catalog, their fourth album “Flux,” released in 1998, is widely recognized as a pioneering work that integrated drum and bass elements into dream pop.
While a growing number of contemporary artists now explore the crossover between shoegaze/dream pop and drum and bass, “Flux” continues to stand out as an early and influential precedent. The newly released video delves into the album’s origins, discussing the circumstances surrounding its creation as well as the musical climate that shaped it at the time.
Love Spirals Downwards continue to release new material on a regular basis, pursuing a sound that reflects a return to their Projekt-era aesthetics while embracing a more modern, chilled sensibility. This approach appears to further deepen their nocturnal atmosphere, and with expectations building around a new album, attention remains focused on their next developments.
