Electric Picnic 2007
The Magic Numbers

Describe In Three Words: Super size me.

Remarkable Moment: No pyrotechnics, no naked stagediving, henges or anything like that. Just a solid set of good tunes played well by people who still seem like they love it despite being, to an extent, a band that has fallen down the musical pecking order. Oh, and the bloke waving the rubber chicken.

Crowd Reaction: The diehards at the front are in awe, but the crowd isn't as quite enthusiastic and enraptured as the heady days when they rammed a tent at Oxegen during the hypathon around their debut. 'Love Me Like You' is one of many hoedown moments, occasionally getting jangly and countrified but its the heartbreak laments where the connection really happens with this band. 'Undecided Love' and 'Love is Just A Game' shine through, and there are gentle squeezes of hands between couples spread around the grass.

EP Rating: 7
