"Outsiders contains all the summery charm that made The Magic Numbers so vital all those years ago, but by golly they've matured in their songwriting too." - Drowned In Sound (8/10)

"The Magic Numbers may have evolved, but they have not lost sight of their roots." - Irish News (10/10)

Outsiders is how we've always felt”, says Romeo Stodart, explaining the thinking behind the title of The Magic Numbers' fifth album. “As a band, and as people. We've never really fit in. Even when things escalated quickly for the band, and we were at some awards ceremony, we always felt like we stuck out. It was the time of indie bands like ‪The Strokes and The Libertines – and then there we stood.”

That sensation of not quite belonging, is one which band members and siblings Michele and Romeo Stodart were already familiar with. Born and raised in Trinidad, the Stodarts’ first experience of feeling like a fish out of water came at an early age, when their family moved to New York. Then, in their late teens, the Stodart’s relocated again, this time to Hanwell, a suburb on the westernmost edge of London. When Romeo befriended one of the locals, Sean Gannon, London-born but of Irish descent, and the pair recruited their younger sisters, Michele Stodart on bass and Angela Gannon on keyboards in 2004, The Magic Numbers were born.
