Spiral Beach will be releasing their latest effort, The Only Really Thing, on September 22 both in Canada (Sparks/EMI) and in the U.S. (Sparks/Tommy Boy). And starting today (until Friday, September 18th), you'll be able to download one track/day for free (check the tracks listed above).
Produced by Michael Olsen (Hidden Cameras) the energetic new album kicks off with the dynamic “Battery,” a postmodern pop/rock anthem that fuses the raw alternative flair of Blondie with a psychedelic beach party.
Other standout tracks such as “Domino,” (a kaleidoscopic duet of percussion and piano) ensure that you keep your dancing shoes on until the early hours of the morning, while “Shake The Chain” uses a metal chain as its primary instrument to create a gorgeous and richly layered ballad. “May Go Round”' will be the band's first official single.
The track 'Domino' is being used as a set up track online with an accompanying viral video directed by Stephen Chung (Broken Social Scene, Feist) – check it out here
A pre-sale campaign will be set up on the band's website that will include CD and vinyl versions of the album plus various additional items created by the band including a comic book created by Maddy Wilde, photo album, band made tour poster collection, handwritten lyric book and t-shirts.
The band are delighted that they have just confirmed the opening slot for Two Hours Traffic's Canadian tour that starts in mid September (see full tour dates below). Before they head out on the road with Two Hours Traffic, the band has been selected to perform at The Music Café at this year’s TIFF festival! The Café is an initiative to showcase Canadian talent to music and film execs from Canada and around the world!
Spiral Beach is constantly pushing the boundaries of contemporary music. With The Only Really Thing, this daring and exhilarating band’s appeal is ready to take over new territory.
