The Magic Numbers

About

The Magic Numbers are a London-based indie pop band formed in 2002, built around two pairs of siblings - Romeo and Michele Stodart alongside Sean and Angela Gannon. Born in Trinidad and raised in New York before settling in west London, the Stodarts bring a transatlantic warmth to the band's sound, which draws on 1960s folk-rock and soul filtered through rich four-part vocal harmonies. Their self-titled 2005 debut reached number 7 on the UK Albums Chart, sold over a million copies worldwide, and earned a Mercury Prize nomination.
