Number Seven is the seventh studio album by American musician Phideaux Xavier. It is a concept album based on their main character; a dormouse. Inside, it features 20 pages of artwork where we can see the dormouse and the other characters.
The album's first and last song are "Dormouse - A Theme" and "Dormouse - An End" (reminiscent on King Crimson's In the Wake of Poseidon). It is divided in three acts.
The album is played by the live band, with no outside musicians or orchestra. Its musical style is closer to their albums Chupacabras and Doomsday Afternoon. It is a blend of progressive rock and psychedelic rock with chamber jazz and classical music.
A remastered version of the album was released on April 2010. Phideaux later said about the original release of Number Seven: "[...], we made a mistake with the first issue of Number Seven by breaking up the songs into smaller sub-bits for people to have easy access to. People couldn't really find the 'songs' of Number Seven." The remastered version of the album fused many of the original version's short tracks into longer tracks.
