Emily's Albums A to Z

Listened: Thursday September 9

The Magic Numbers are yet another band in the tradition of “music sounds very American, but the band is actually British” (see Mojave 3). The band is also known as being “unglamorous” in the British press – the members don’t wear snazzy clothes and they aren’t toned, tanned, and made up, but they aren’t consciously grunging it up either; they’re just regular schlubs.

I See You, You See Me is a brilliant male-female duet. I love when duets work really well. This is also another album that makes me think of sun and Coachella. I remember sitting in a shade tent relaxing as their music wafted to me from the main stage.
