As part of a review of the
Projekt 200 3 CD Boxed Set, which Love Spirals Downwards and Lovespirals are on, Jack of Liar Society also reviewed the
Idylls and
Ardor Remastered Reissue digipacs:
Projekt200 is a sampler of the label's musical offerings in celebration of Projekt's 200th release... One of the songs that really stuck out for me on Projekt200 was Love Spirals Downwards's "Write in Water." Upon giving it a few listens I came to the conclusion that I needed more Love Spirals Downwards in my life. Perhaps someone at Projekt was reading my mind, because a few months later the label reissued the group's first two albums, Ardor and Idylls. Both feature lush, ethereal arrangements of guitar, keyboards, and programming from multi-instrumentalist Ryan Lum and the all-encompassing, heavenly vocals of Suzanne Perry. While both albums work the same style, each has its own unique flavor; as such, it's impossible to pick a favorite between them. Beautifully remastered and laden with bonus tracks, Idylls and Ardor are essential additions to your rainy day musical rotation.
