Free music is always a good thing—even more so when it helps to promote local indie acts. In this case I’m talking about the latest EP from Toronto’s Spiral Beach.

Available for the next little while from Zunior.com and consisting of 3 songs, this EP is no doubt an attempt to gain some new supporters to the Spiral Beach camp. Of course, lead track “New Clouds Hot Clouds,” with its seductive rhythm and catchy hooks, is likely to do just that.

Fans of the band’s debut release, 2007’s Ball, will also be interested to hear the chunkier and slightly more raucous take on “Made of Stone.” In any case, these guys are definitely honing their craft and I’m looking forward to hearing their next full-length.

I’ve just been informed that these tracks were actually recorded live for an XM Radio session. In any case, free music is fine by me!
