The Magic Numbers
It could be easy to confuse The Magic Numbers with Major Moulty's Amazing Magical Plastic Band. Although, it would be really odd that before releasing their first record a band would release expensive figures of themselves in bright sixties outfits. Yet, in fact The Magic Numbers aren't three-inch vinyl collectables, but rather a pair of a pair of siblings (that makes four people, two boys, two girls and two surnames) forming a soulful pop band from London.
The Magic Numbers create songs full of light and space that skitter from Monkees-esque glee to a doo-wop caress and onto a down-tempo country shuffle. This shuffle is occasionally interrupted by a distortion pedal containing such melancholy happiness that you will wonder if you are, after all, bi-polar.
Stand out tracks such as the opening epic 'Mornings Eleven', the country grind of 'The Mule' and the harmonious 'Don't Give Up The Fight' punctuate a very solid record. With a debut like this, The Magic Numbers are a very talented band, and maybe one day will be worthy of plastic effigies .
