Engineering the Soul, the 2008 album from Something With Numbers, finds the Australian band polishing its indie rock to a bright, radio-ready shine, and "Stay with Me Bright Eyes" is the most insistent thing on it, all urgent guitars and a chorus that won't let go. The band came together on the New South Wales Central Coast in 2001, with Scott Chapman on bass alongside Tim Crocker, Jake Grigg, Dave McBeath and Lachlan Scott.
The breakthrough came with "Apple of the Eye (Lay Me Down)", which climbed to 34 on the ARIA Singles Chart and landed at 64 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2006, the band's first real taste of commercial success.
In all they packed an EP and four studio albums into a 7-year run before it was over.
