Sheer Mag

It's just a pastiche of the bass drum head logo of every mid level Midwestern hard rock club band circa 83

Is the album out? Love the 3 EPs

album's streaming on NPR iirc and it should be out this week

i got an email that they shipped the vinyl over the weekend. so stoked for this!

i know part of the appeal of this is the lo-fi production meeting up with hard rock gestures but i'd also love if one day they put out a record that actually sounded like secret treaties

anyway, this is great

need to buy a transistor radio to shunt this thru somehow

ok yeah this is so good

Hm, I dunno. I was giving it a listen earlier this evening, had to stop after a few songs. I can see what they're going for but the parts were greater than the sum.

good redcord. i wish the sound was a little dirtier, like the E.P's were.

saw these folks this weekend. holy fuckin' shit. killer live band.

they have 6 people out right now, 3 guitars. riff after riff after riff, like a brick to the face. and Tina's terrific.

new lp out august :)

new album cover is kinda their first misstep, i think? and i normally love Robert Beatty's stuff.

admittedly, this is not a big deal

i like the album art

well shit, it looks better there than it did on my phone this morning!

i don't love it as much as the first Sheer Mag, but i retract my previous comment. :)

first Sheer Mag *album*

That rules. Loved the first album, can't wait

album cover is great, very rainbow/thin lizzy

from the bandcamp credits: "Narrative concept by Christina Halladay and Matt Palmer"
that plus the cover does not bode well

will happily take an album of escapist sci fi prog silliness from them

the song sounds like all their other stuff \o/

Am listening to an advance now. Pleasant, I guess. (I don't hate them or anything, it's just...nice.)

this came out last week!!

where are your heads at?! i depend on you to know important things!

it's good, you'll like it!

my in-depth analysis is that it sounds like Sheer Mag

i am putting in a word for this band

the word is "good"

do you fuck with them

*bruce willis voice* welcome to the party, pal

I am a petty son of a bitch so I have a hard time getting over the fact that when I ordered 7"s directly from the band they sent me multiple copies of the same one and ignored my emails about it. They are pretty good though. :)

this band is good

saw their singer on tinder the last time they came to town

right swipe not reciprocated :(

Not sure what I think about the new one yet. It's fine and has all the elements I'd want from a great Sheer Mag record, but somehow it doesn't all come together for me.

hmmm
