The Magic Numbers by Magic Numbers
The Magic Numbers is an album by Magic Numbers, released in 2005. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Love Me Like You”, on 2 lists with a best position of #126.
The Magic Numbers' self-titled debut came out on 13 June 2005, the first full statement from a west London band built from two sets of siblings: Romeo Stodart on lead guitar and vocals, his sister Michele on bass, vocals and glockenspiel, Angela Gannon on melodica, percussion, keyboard and vocals, and her brother Sean on drums. Romeo wrote the songs and shaped most of the arrangements, and the record wraps a folky warmth around its indie jangle, all stacked harmonies and sunny chords hiding some real heartache.
The songs mine childhood daydreams, love affairs and the restless panic of being young. "Love Me Like You", its best-known single, turns on the gap between how much two people feel for each other, and the earlier single "Hymn for Her" is tucked away as a hidden track. It earned a Mercury Music Prize nomination in 2005.
