Lovespirals is a shortened version of the band's original name, Love Spirals Downwards.

After nearly a decade of artistic collaboration between singer/songwriter, Anji Bee, and multi-instrumentalist/producer, Ryan Lum, it seems almost a moot point that Lovespirals evolved out of Projekt act, Love Spirals Downwards. Yet Lum's former band incarnation remains popular within dream pop circles; popular enough that his first 2 early 90's albums are were recently reissued in an expanded and remixed digipac format by Projekt. So though Lovespirals have been around as long as LSD, the two projects are inextricably linked in many people's minds.

Still, Lovespirals have gained many new fans, from both their heavy involvement with the digital music revolution and their growing popularity in the podcasting world. Lovespirals were a forerunner of band pocdasting, launching Chillin' with Lovespials in mid-2005. This Mevio syndicated podcast has detailed their work on Long Way From Home, leaking clips of songs in progress, as well as remixes, live recordings, and demos with thousands of listeners monthly. Bee's popular podsafe music podcast, The Chillcast, has won the band additional fans due in no small part to her stature as "the sexiest voice in podcasting."

Lovespirals were one of the first bands to join the Podsafe Music Network, founded by Mevio owner, Adam Curry. The band enjoys strong support not only from Curry's seminal Daily Source Code, but from many other renowned podcasts including Accident Hash, Rumor Girls, Dave's Lounge, and Coverville. The album's first podsafe single, "Motherless Child", was remixed by indie bands including Karmacoda, Hungry Lucy, and MoShang, for a digital EP which is entirely podsafe.

Lovespirals' music has appeared on TV and cable including MTV, VH1, E!, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
