Baltimore-based post-punk duo Ed Schrader’s Music Beat (vocalist Ed Schrader and bassist Devlin Rice) are releasing their third album, Riddles, on March 2 via Carpark (their first for the label). It was produced by fellow Baltimore resident Dan Deacon. Previously the album’s title track, “Riddles,” was one of our Songs of the Week (and they have also previously shared a video for the album’s opening track, “Dunce”). Now they have shared another song from the album, slow burner “Seagull.” Listen below.According to an interview with Consequence of Sound, who premiered the song, “Seagull” is inspired by Han Solo, Radiohead’s Kid A, David Bowie’s “Little Wonder,” Sonic Youth’s Sister, and the time Schrader accidentally ate a seagull.

Schrader also had this to say about the album in a press release: “For me, the album parallels feelings of confronting the past, resolving it, facing the music, and blasting out of it. It’s the album our hearts wanted us to make.”
