14 The Magic Numbers ∙ Which Way To Happy
Von ihrem gleichamigen Debutalbum, das just in England erschien. Pitchfork schreibt „The Magic Numbers are easy to love.“ Dem ist wohl so. UNCUT ergänzt:
Boasting not one but two sets of brothers and sisters, The Magic Numbers are the most talked-about new British band of the year – and it’s easy to hear why. Bucking the current trend of jerky ‘80s revivalists, The Magic Numbers draw on a much wider palette of influences, from country-era Neil Youngs to Big Star. One excited reviewer of their recent co-headlining tour with Hal even suggested they could be the UK’s answer to the Flaming Lips. Well, there’s a way to go yet but, as “Which Way To Happy” hints, the promise is undoubtley there.
