Sheer Mag have labored to carve out a discernibly ...

"On the second record (Make Room), we went to college and were saying goodbye to our childhood. On the third one, we'd just gone through COVID and, speaking for myself, I lost my entire sense of self and gained a new one."Now, at 24, Mayugba and Roditis are standing firmly on solid ground with more resolute and confident than ever in their place as musicians.
