Product Description
From Amazon.com
In an age of vigorously-marketed rag-trade clothes horses, Trinidad/New York/London collective the Magic Numbers are an anomaly; a word-of-mouth phenomenon whose affable live shows have been compared to happy clappy religious experiences and whose music--an unfashionable blend of soft country pop with Fifties and Sixties inflections--is evidently more important to them than the intercession of style gurus and hairdressers. The "kids" are converted and the band's self-titled debut album may prove to be the most surprising success story of the year. Comprising two pairs of siblings, the Stodarts (singer and songwriter Romeo; the girth of a bear, the hair and beard of a friendly fairy-tale giant and the voice of a mouse; sister Michelle on bass, keyboards, vocals) and the Gannons (the equally hirsute Sean on drums; sister Angela on vocals, melodica and percussion) the familial ties shine through in the wholesome, harmonious nature of it all, from the skiffle of "Long Legs" and the upbeat Undertones-flavoured pop of "Love Me Like You" to the melting, dreamy teen frustration dialogues of "Love's a Game" and "I See You, You See Me". The Magic Numbers offer conclusive proof that math isn't boring. --Kevin Maidment

Copy Protected,
By
This review is from: Magic Numbers (Audio CD)
Be warned, you will not be able to get this album into iTunes or play it on your iPod because of the ridiculous EMI copy protection that assumes we are all criminals.

Albums Don't get Much Better Than This,
By
This review is from: Magic Numbers (Audio CD)
The magic numbers ooze with style and grace, hard hitting rock, easy going grooves and even some soulful country vocals. From start to finish this album delivers the most inspired and entertaining indie pop you're likely to find in any 2005 release.

Ain't No Mamas and Papas,
By Music Vet "barippo" (Mississauga, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magic Numbers (Audio CD)
The easy way out would be to use the Mamas and Papas as a starting place (as some critics have) but sixties lightweight pop this is not. The Numbers have a contemporary sound which does feature some three and four part harmonies but the subject matter is thoroughly 2005. A varied and pleasing collection of pop rock. Enjoy!
