Infinity Cat Recordings, JEFF the Brotherhood’s Nashville label, will release Ed Schrader’s Music Beat’s Party Jail LP tomorrow.
Ed Schrader’s Music Beat is Ed Schrader and Devlin Rice, a minimalist post-punk duo from the fair city of Baltimore, MD. The band started with Ed: a man unhinged channeling to the world a sacred message in the form of song. His only divining instruments: a single floor tom, one light, and a commanding baritone. After a few tours on his own, Ed asked Devlin to join in his quest. Now the band is one guy playing a drum in the dark and another dude with a bass, laughing at his jokes. Party Jail features additional drums by Jeremy Hyman of Ponytail, Dan Deacon, and Boredoms.
Ed Schrader’s Music Beat recently finished a sold-out U.S. tour with Future Islands, and the two bands are currently touring together in Europe.  Look for more U.S. touring from Ed Schrader’s Music Beat in June – including a June 13 Shae Stadium show in Brooklyn, and a June 24 hometown release show at Floristree in Baltimore.
