Magic Numbers - The Runaway 2LP&7"

'The Runaway' is the third album from London indie-rock band The Magic Numbers. The Stodart and Gannon siblings reveal a rather upbeat side on this offering, easing away from the dulcet, dreamy sound of their 2006 release 'Those The Brokes'. Throughout the album lie the finely crafted string arrangements of Robert Kirby (Nick Drake, Elvis Costello), who passed away in 2009, with 'The Runaway' ultimately proving to be his final piece of work.
