UK band The Magic Numbers return with their most confident and compelling album to date, ALIAS, to be released August 15th on Caroline Australia. This will be Mercury Prize nominees The Magic Numbers’ fourth album, and includes their brand new single ‘Shot In The Dark’, out June 23rd.

ALIAS augments The Magic Numbers’ signature vocal harmonies with a darker, electrifying atmosphere and captures on record the infectious energy of the band’s live performances. The result is a new, powerful sound for the band.

From the dramatically poignant openers ‘Wake Up’ and ‘You K(no)w’ the album builds in intensity, opening out into the string-laden backdrop of the soulful, seductive ‘Thought I Wasn’t Ready’ and the majestic ‘Roy Orbison’.

Written and produced by Romeo Stodart, new single ‘Shot In The Dark’ is bursting with existential angst and animalistic guitars that echo Neil Young’s work with Crazy Horse.
