Sheer Mag have announced their third studio album.
The follow-up to 2019's 'A Distant Call' is called 'Playing Favorites' and will arrive on March 1, marking the band's first full-length release on Third Man Records.
Alongside the news, the Philadelphia rockers have shared the record's title track and opener, a lo-fi blend of '70s rock, funk and soul that tells the story of life on tour. Head below to view the song's accompanying video, directed and photographed by Craig Scheihing. The band said:
"After nearly ten years of touring together, we felt qualified to write a song about doing it. It's a good introduction to the next era of Sheer Mag."

They've also scheduled a North American tour for spring, with tickets on general sale at 10am local time on Friday (November 10).
