The band’s classic debut album IIIII reached the Top 40 on Finnish sales charts and got excellent reviews worldwide. In 2010, Magenta Skycode released their sophomore album, Relief, to excellent reviews. The album won the award for Best Indie Album at the Finnish Emma Awards (which is the Finnish equivalent of a Grammy) while also being among the contenders for the Finnish nominee for The Nordic Music Prize due to the album’s outstanding lyrics and emotional impact of Sjöroos’ voice.

Relief stayed as number one on the Finnish sales charts for several weeks, as featured on the top sales charts for as long as six weeks.
