About Me

Still Point of Turning LP
"Relayâ€™s debut LP, Still Point of Turning, excels at the sort of synth-and guitar-laden psych-pop that has caused a â€œMy Bloody Valentine-esqueâ€ shoegaze tag to be leveled at them on more than one occasion. Preconceptions aside, "Relayâ€™s appeal is primarily in their aseptic, blusterous guitars and stacks of airy keys set against vocals that stretch across the tracks like a patient etherized upon a table. If Prufrock ever had a love song, this would be it."
CMJ
"What you notice are the album's myriad textures, the layers of sound, the shimmering and ringing guitars, the tweak of the drumbeats, the propulsive rhythms, and the engaging harmonics. And that's before the fabulous melodies, alternately gorgeous and infectious, subtle and shining, take hold."
All Music Guide
"Still Point of Turning teems with finely-tuned ambient guitar rock, building majestic walls of sound that still maintain exuberant melodies."
Spin.com
"Layers of guitar, analog synth and rhythm meticulously assembled into shimmering, psychedelic pop."

"While it may be a six-song EP, and a preview of their upcoming full length in October, it's one of the most surprisingly interesting and spellbinding releases we've heard all year."
