"...it sure does impress a great deal for marrying so well uplifting melodies with digital beats in a pretty tasteful manner."
M8 recommended album listening.
" 'Fear of Night' is a real quality piece of work, elements of classic Electro Pop, inventive melodies and lots of messages and thoughtful lyrics."
DMC Update
"Relation are two men who make warm and elegant electronic pop music. 'Your Tiny Mind' is the first single off their brilliant album 'Fear Of Night'. We know that a lot of Popjustice readers are going to love this album"
Popjustice song of the day (Your Tiny Mind)
“Like a deadpan Talk Talk with a chord sequences by Johnny Marr”
Ben Watt (Everything But The Girl, Buzzin' Fly)
"I really enjoyed the work on the Relation album, very intelligent electronic pop music..... with a ton of emotion"
Robert Babicz
"Your Tiny Mind sounds like 1989, but the chorus is completely MOVING"
Rex The Dog
"In fact, forget all your cheesy Lady Gagas and Little Bootsies, when it comes to reviving '80s electro pop, Relation are the daddy."
Loughborough Echo - Sound Advice
Relation have created an album filled with quality songwriting that focuses on themes ranging from the political to the metaphysical. The thought-provoking lyrics are matched by inventive melodies that work together to create evocative soundscapes. Stand-out tracks include the album’s first single Your Tiny Mind, a warning message about the power of the media and Lowest Common Denominator, a critique of free speech under the current government. Fear of Night is filled with provocative songs which will surely cement their place alongside fellow Essex electro alumni.
Andrew Leary and Oliver Keech aka Relation met as children in Essex. Though they both played in bands throughout school and university, the discovery of dance music heroes Orbital and Jeff Mills plus a shared love for the electronic pop giants of the 80s, was the catalyst for the duo to create Superenlightened. This underground, limited run debut single was released to great acclaim from DJs like Pete Tong, Sasha and Laurent Garnier. Superenlightened was also voted the BBC’s Dance Single of the Week.
