Equation were a British, young Devon-based folk supergroup formed in 1995, which combined the core talents of the Lakeman Brothers with Kathryn Roberts and Kate Rusby, later replaced for a spell by Cara Dillon.[1] The name of the band refers to the initials of the band members' names, KR2 + SL3.
Their first single "He Loves Me"[2] was originally released in 1996 on the Blanco y Negro-WEA label[3] and was followed by four studio albums.
The Times reviewed their first album release Hazy Daze.[4] in 1998, scoring 7/10 and giving a favourable comparison to Fairport Convention.
