Melodic guitar pop strung with romanticising vocals.
The Magic Numbers, never anything less than a charming but invigorating blend of melodic guitar pop, with song writing that documented the travails of the heart with pinpoint poetry, have registered real intent and quantifiable achievement here.
Imagine a record that begins with a song so grand and so glorious that it sounds like it’s descending from the heavens, asking us what it is to love, and what it is to feel. Imagine the album that soars from its searching, stirring strings, shifting beautifully between perfect pop, heart-wrenching soul and country folk, woozy with harmonies and deep, dreamy melodies. Imagine it arriving in the world after the birth of a new child, and the death of the man who helped bring it to life.
