Urban Torque proudly present Fear of Night, the debut album from Southend duo Relation. The stylish Fear of Night combines elements of classic 80s electro pop with crisp modern production. Fear Of Night is filled with songs that on the surface appear simple but on closer inspection reveal lyrical and sonic depths.

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.
