I accidentally discovered this sweet little ditty through a live version I heard a few days ago, and I am now hooked.
A little background info on the band: The Magic Numbers are two brother-sister pairs who all met at a London Catholic School. The two pairs met there, I mean. I'm sure the siblings knew each other somewhat longer. Then they became a band.
Anyhoo, two personal points I'd like to make: 1. "Forever Lost" was from their 2005 debut album. I know I'm way late on this, but it's just so good I gotta share it. 2. I really think I need to get over whatever preconceptions I have of bands based on their grimey looks, crappy album covers, or... mainly their grimey looks. I almost missed out on My Morning Jacket, and the Magic Numbers have a very poppy, Carpenters-esque sound. Moral: don't judge a band by its B.O.
And the live version: The Magic Numbers - Forever Lost (Benicassim live)

these guys are pushing the boundaries of grungy.... though divorced from their looks, these guys sound pretty sweet.
