Dance dons [uuid=de426408-ecae-42da-9fb6-014ef2243a61]Above & Beyond[/uuid] are set to release an acoustic album next month as well as premiering a concert film of the same title.
Earlier this year the group downed their decks in favour of creating a live orchestral experience resulting in four sold-out shows at London’s Porchester Hall and two sold-out nights at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
"The acoustic project is a reconnection with the musicians that we were before we met,” said Above & Beyond’s Tony McGuinness.
“The songs have been on an interesting journey to get here because we tend to write in a fairly acoustic way anyway.
“We don't just stick a bit of vocal over a dance track - that's not how we work. We try to start with a song and it's usually only later down the line that we take certain elements from that song and progress them into a more dancefloor-friendly version."
The Anjunabeats trio will premiere their concert film on Vice’s THUMP channel on January 24 which captures the Porchester Hall performances and the story behind the acoustic project.
