About Ardor
Product Description With over 15,000 units sold per album, the first two albums from Love Spirals Downward – classic shoegazer dream-pop discs – get lovely re-releases with bonus tracks, remastered and compiled by Ryan Lum himself! Love Spirals Downwards are the unconscious mind of ethereal music, evoking forgotten memories with subjective, alien tongues. The sounds drift dreamily through one’s thoughts like incense permeates the air ― perhaps the spicy fragrance will seduce you like a lover to its heat, or else it will elude the threshold of perception and weave itself into the mind’s strata of buried experiences . . . The result of this Easternish atmosphere, with delicate guitar and ebbing, oceanic female vocals is a taste of the watery, warm, and sweet elements of the earth. Idylls captured the hearts and minds of listeners worldwide with its lushly interwoven guitar textures and mysterious vocal stylings. Classic tracks such as “Scatter January” and “Love’s Labours Lost” are lyrically composed of nonsense sounds the duo devised to feign Middle Eastern and Roman languages, while songs like “This Endris Night” and “And the Wood Comes into Leaf” are simplified reworkings of Medieval classics. “Stir About the Stars” and “Drops, Rain & Sea,” while in modern English, still leave quite a bit up to the imagination as far as meaning goes, which is exactly how the band prefers it. Industrial Nation “Like a cloud-ride to a heaven via angelic voices and delicate music.” Permission “Idylls is a brilliant album.” CD in 4-panel digipak with 2 bonus tracks. Review omance! Despair! Trauma! Sounds good to you? It sounds good to me too and mixed together by Love Spirals Downwards it sounds even better. Suzanne Perry and Ryan Lum once again create a world without boudaries, taking in subtle sounds and sharp senses, morphing them into music and presenting them back for our listening pleasure. Seductive and sad, full of longing and lust, this album can't help but satisfy your cravings for music that captivates with a hit of decay wafting about the edges. Like visiting ancient ruins on a sunny day, Ardor captures your imagination and it's up to you what you let them do with it. My suggestion: surrender to them! --B-Side Magazine The second album from melancholy bunch Love Spirals Downwards and a splendid affair it is too. Suzanne Perry's heavenly vocals mix with a lushly produced backdrop of melody and ambience for fifty gorgeous minutes of sound. There's nothing taxing about this music, nothing particulary experimental, but where there is I could happily listen to it for years to come. With the added bonus of the last track "Tear Love From My Mind" penned by Mr. Rosenthal himself, this is simply introspective, intelligent "pop" (and I use the word reservedly) having more than a hint of sadness buried within it. Exquisite. --Music from the Empty Quarter Soaringly romantic and hauntingly brooding, Ardor practically celebrates and elegant brand of Euro-cool. -Cary Darling --The Orange County Register
