RELATION “OPTIMISTIC” REMIXES

Music | Johnny | March 16, 2010

‘Optimistic’ is Relation’s second single from their debut album ‘Fear Of Night’, which we have featured before. The boys from Essex, Andrew Leary and Oliver Keech have developed an alternative, unique sound by combining meaningful lyrics with synth-pop to create both emotional depth and electronic rhythms.

Although the compositions are truly progressive and they embrace a futuristic approach to their productions, their music has brought comparisons to New Order and the Pet Shop Boys as well as a wink to Depeche Mode.

‘Optimistic’ melds contemporary and classic electronic pop sounds, entwining bubbling synths into the lead singer Oliver’s pleading and compelling vocals, giving the track a stand-out edge that should instantly provoke genuine interest and emotion in the listener.

Our favorite, The Diogenes Club stay true to their sound and deliver a smooth remix with their uplifting Balearic signature. The band Eat More Cake gives a powerful resonance to the lyrics with atmospheric sounds and exoticism. Laserdisco, one of Andrew Leary’s experimental projects, is class dub with a dark eerie feel. There are other remixes around and are all perfect for the dancefloor.

We know full well how much the track is able to draw you in, but the remixes add flavour to an already familiar taste.
