What more needs to be said about this.. Above & Beyond have already taken control of our souls with their music, and their latest acoustic releases are no different. And although we are all still a tad heartbroken about missing them on New Year’s Eve, this will soothe your mind until their intended return back to the Northwest.
Earlier this year, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London’s famous Porchester Hall. The response from fans was overwhelming and led to two sold-out nights at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles in October, described by Billboard Magazine as “one of the finest and more memorable shows in EDM history.”
Above & Beyond partnered with THUMP on the production and filming of the London shows to create a concert film that captures the Porchester Hall performances and the story behind the acoustic project. The songs performed at Porchester Hall also form the basis of the “Above & Beyond Acoustic” studio album, which was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.
Vocalist Alex Vargas provided the vocals for ‘Sun & Moon’ during their live acoustic show.
Sun & Moon is by far one of their best-loved tracks, which tells the story of a bittersweet love affair and the pain and release of a couple’s break-up. The acoustic version re-imagines the now classic club track with a swelling orchestral arrangement and vocals from Alex Vargas.
The Above & Beyond’s Acoustic film will premiere on THUMP Friday, Jan 24th at 1pm PST. You can pre-order the Acoustic Special Edition Photographic Book (including CD/DVD) now, with an instant download of both Sun & Moon and Love Is Not Enough, by clicking here.
