Spiral Beach

Ball is the 2nd album from Toronto’s Spiral Beach. Brothers Daniel and Airick Woodhead form the songwriting core of Spiral Beach, joined by New York City transplant Dorian Wolf and childhood friend Maddy Wilde. Having grown up immersed in the 60’s born folk festival circuit, the band’s sound developed as a reaction to their upbringing, finding solace in churning dance music both haunting and jubilant, propelled by the uncannily matched voices of Airick and Maddy belting out surreal lyrics set to cutting melodies.

Spiral Beach soon found their natural habitat as the resident opening act at Toronto’s Drake Hotel, but quickly became the main attraction of the night - playing for packed and energized audiences and showcasing their kaleidoscopic stage show of video projections, siren lights and smoke machines. The band has become notorious for their fearless attitude towards performing, defying expectations of a “pop” or “teen” act with music comparable to the Mother’s of Invention and a confidence unexpected from such young players.

Armed with national and local praise for their self-produced, self-titled album in late 2005, Spiral Beach soon found themselves touring numerous times in the United States and Canada with acts such as the Hidden Cameras, Sloan and Cuff the Duke. When the band relocated to a converted barn in Ontario with Mark Olsen (the Hidden Cameras, Arcade Fire) and Scotty Hard (Medeski Martin and Wood, Wu-Tang Clan) in the winter of 2007 to record the material they had been touring for the past year, Ball was born.
