Mercury Prize nominated and multi-platinum selling London quartet The Magic Numbers have released the studio-shot video for the new single, ‘Sweet Divide’. This is the first piece of new music from the band following a three-year hiatus and taken from their forthcoming album ‘Outsiders’, available through Role Play Records on May 11. ‘Outsiders’ captures The Magic Numbers fired by a renewed sense of purpose, immediately apparent on first single ‘Sweet Divide’, with the band’s melodic facility bolstered by a newfound, grittier sensibility.
Conjuring a nostalgic sound from the heyday of the 70’s, ‘Sweet Divide’ creates a very US classic rock sound despite being from London, and they nail it perfectly. While exploring some subtle moments of experimentation it maintains a gritty edge while keeping it’s composure and ultimately being quite a chilled song. With it’s soft vocals, psychedelic prog rock moments and glorious vocal accompaniments this will be welcome song in their repertoire.
