Sheer Mag has returned with a tune inspired by the sounds and sights of the 20th century: “Moonstruck,” the latest single from their forthcoming album, Playing Favorites.
Taking its title from the Cher-starring 1987 film of the same name, “Moonstruck” is a grooving number with an overarching vibe of sun-shiney goodness. Fittingly, the band’s guitarist, Matt Palmer, revealed that the song is about “how invigorating it is to have a new crush.”
Continuing, Palmer explained: “After too long lost in the wilderness, it’s gratifying to find a beacon of tenderness to help reorient yourself in the maze of love. Written in 2021 and originally intended for a disco EP, ‘Moonstruck’ has been reworked as a more expansive and lush arrangement and features some of our favorite guitar work on the new record.”
“Moonstruck” also arrives alongside a music video inspired by the video for Rush’s 1981 song “Limelight,” directed by Ryan Schnackenberg.

When it comes to the multi-faceted role of filmmaker it seems that rejection is an ever-present bedfellow. Be that rejection of your elevator pitch even before your idea has had the chance to take its first breath or the rejection of access to the essential funds and resources needed to make a great idea into a cinematic reality. Even when you’ve managed to traverse those often insurmountable hurdles, you still have to contend with the rejection of the inscrutable gatekeepers who are keeping your masterpiece from the audiences that would clearly love it they only had the opportunity to watch. New York-based filmmaker Ryan Schnackenberg’s latest short The Screener takes these all too familiar experiences of rejection and imagines what would occur if they could be questioned, not from behind the safe remove of a screen, but in the harsh light of a face to face confrontation.
