Love spirals downwards: 'Idylls' is a great, low-key, rainy day kind of CD. There is a general mood of sadness and despair at times then blithesome optimism at others in this CD. Each song sort of collides into the next. There is a unique mesh of sounds with souring electric guitars, acoustics, and kind of tribal sounding drums. The vocals are very serene, soothing, and kind of dreamy, Celtic influenced.

It reminds me of the group `Love is colder than death' a lot, only less dark and gothic. The guitars actually sound like `The Cure' to me, especially in the eighth track, 'Stir about the Stars'.

This is the kind of music you can just lay down on your soft bed, light some candles, put on your head phones, and just let the music take you away.

Love Spirals Downwards's angelic ambient style is fantastic. Idylls peacefully dark dreampop track is a further evidence that Love Spirals Downwards is one of the greatest ethereal bands ever to grace us.

lsd is one group of musicians whose music touches the world on a different level. most music is hear today gone tomorrow, but idylls is an album that can be listen to every day, and never have get old. it also features probably the most moving music the band has made to date. ardor was a great cd, but didn't move as much as this one does. faster beats and more driving keyboard on songs like forgo make this album the bands most diverse. check it out. its a great cd.
