Dig into this week’s Saturday Alternative playlist! The Fitting Room album was Riddles by Ed Schrader’s Music Beat, out now on Carpark Records.
It goes without saying, Ed Schrader’s Music Beat has evolved over the years. The Baltimore artist began on his own before bassist Devlin Rice came on board to fill out the sound and add some low end to the intense pulse of Ed and his floor tom. Jump ahead a few years, and the duo were ready to inject new layers of depth into to what they were doing. That’s when they decided to team up with fellow Baltimore artist – acclaimed experimental electronic musician and party starter – Dan Deacon. With Dan now in the mix as co-producer and co-writer for their new album, Riddles, their music has taken on a whole new life without losing an ounce of the energy, passion, and trance-inducing rhythmic intensity that’s made Ed Schrader’s Music Beat one of Baltimore’s most exciting bands.
