Baltimore-based post-punk duo Ed Schrader’s Music Beat (vocalist Ed Schrader and bassist Devlin Rice) released their third album, Riddles, last Friday 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 then “Seagull” was also 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 a video for “Riddles.” Watch it below via Stereogum (who premiered it).

Jay Buim directed the video and had this to say about it in a press release: “On another timeline, in another iteration of this planet, Ed is bigger than Frank Sinatra. With this video, I tried to bring that world closer into view.”

Schrader also had this to say about the album in a previous 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.”
