After teasing fans for days with a countdown to Monday at midnight, Foo Fighters have released a surprise EP titled Saint Cecilia.

The five-song collection—which is available for free now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music and as an instant download—is described as a series of "nearly forgotten moments from the band’s 20-year odyssey—a brilliant patchwork of pieced-together riffs and song fragments that were tracked in an impromptu studio at Austin’s Hotel Saint Cecilia."

Nov. 22 also marks St. Cecilia's Day, the feast day of Saint Cecilia, the patroness of musicians who is still revered by many in the Catholic church as of the early Virgin Martyrs of Rome.

The band has dedicated the project to those affected by this month's terrorist attacks in Paris. To donate to victims, click here. And pre-order vinyl copies of the EP here.
