The Magic Numbers will make their return in November with the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut.

The new album is titled 'Those The Brokes' and will be released on November 6th.

Songs expected to appear on the new album include 'You Never Had It', 'Boy', 'Take A Chance', 'Slow Down', 'This Is A Song' and 'Let Somebody In'.

The first single expected to be released from the new album is 'Take A Chance' and is set for release at the end of October.

Responding to rumours that the album will be much more intense than their first, band frontman Romeo Stodart told NME.com: "Everyone said that our second album had to be darker, but I thought our first album was pretty dark!

"Although I do think the songs are harder edged. We're a lot more experienced with production. We wanted to make the best sounding songs we could."
