Alias

"Despite the conflict between The Magic Numbers' usual laid-back melancholy and the heavier side that is embedded in Alias, the record is a vast improvement on the band's previous two outings. While neither were particularly bad, they lacked the adventure and direction of Alias and, as a result, did little to enhance the band's reputation. The Magic Numbers' latest LP may not be perfect, but it is a big step in the right direction".

"Picking up on the introspective orchestral vibe of 2010's Runaway, the Magic Numbers found a balance between their early sunshine indie pop sensibilities and more expansive experimental inclinations. The most infectious cuts come midway through, with tracks like the rambling, roots rock-infused "Shot in the Dark" and the romantic '70s symphonic disco-sounding "E.N.D." working as perfect examples of Alias' artistic sensibility".
