Track: The Magic Numbers – Sweet Divide, plus UK tour news

Returning after a three year hiatus, The Magic Numbers have revealed details of a new album, Outsiders, due on May 11th, and the first track to be taken from it – Sweet Divide. Of the album, frontman Romeo Stodart says “I never wanted to be a part of anything, the cool kids at school, the pretend outlaws. I was always an outsider, we’ve always been an outsider band. We don’t fit in, never have and never will. Especially now. As you get older you realise your strength in not giving a fuck. You realise what you’ve been trying to do your whole life. Create something that’s yours, your own world, your own views, make something special, start your own gang but always be YOU within it. Don’t conform. Don’t fall in line. Be free. Be inspired. Inspire. Live & Love. To all the Outsiders”

Sweet Divide is this pulsating indie rock anthem, with heavy riffs and splashes of organ, but sweetened by those California harmonies and sweet melodies that the band always manage to find. Its bittersweet yet beautiful.
