The Magic Numbers have always specialised in crafting the kind of winsome guitar pop that leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling and a smile on your face. On album number three, the cuddly siblings have embarked upon a more ambitious sonic voyage with Björk producer Valgeir Sigurðsson at the helm. Alongside the trademark harmonies is lush orchestration courtesy of Nick Drake’s string arranger, the odd nod to Fleetwood Mac and, on ‘Hurt So Good’, a cosmic, gospel dreaminess that would fit snugly on Spirtualized’s Let It Come Down. So whilst The Runaway may be no less endearing than previous efforts, it's infinitely more satisfying.
