Love Spirals Downwards emerged in the early 1990's as one of the forerunners of a style of ethereal, blissful pop termed shoegazer by the music press. The duo's 1992 debut release, Idylls, introduced listeners to a unique, sumptuous sound of layered, interwoven guitar textures and warm, lilting female vocals. Creating a style that was as much about mood as melody, Love Spirals Downwards quickly gained a loyal stronghold of fans eager to embark on this fervent excursion.
