In the summer of 2013, 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 which formed the basis of the "Above & Beyond Acoustic" studio album. The album was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.

"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".

With Above & Beyond "Acoustic", the group are putting aside their CDJs and lighting rigs to showcase their deeply-rooted musicianship and classical training. A band first and foremost, Above & Beyond are songwriters as much as they are DJs. Working with three singers, a string quartet, harpist, drummer and bassist, Above & Beyond are pushing the boundaries of dance music. Tony McGuinness sings and plays guitar, mandolin and ukulele, Paavo Siljamäki plays the grand piano and cello, and Jono Grant plays the Rhodes piano, guitar and vibraphone.

The latest single from their imminent ‘Group Therapy’ album, Above &amp; Beyond’s ‘Thing Called Love’ follows the widespread success of the trio’s recent crossover smash ‘Sun &amp; Moon’ – a track playlisted by BBC Radio 1.
Again featuring the distinctive vocals of Richard Bedford, ‘Thing Called Love’ is a powerful song-driven anthem that upholds Above &amp; Beyond’s unique ability to marry innovative electronic grooves with stirring, thoughtful lyrics that are the antithesis of throwaway club tracks.
A huge underground favourite that has already clocked up over 1 million views on YouTube and touched thousands with its words, ‘Thing Called Love’ has even acted as the soundtrack to both marriage proposals and even wedding days of those feeling the force of it’s message the most. Ironically, though, the lyrics were actually intended to tell the story of a relationship that never was – a lost love rather than realised.
In keeping with the stadium-sized sound of ‘Sun &amp; Moon’, Above &amp; Beyond’s Burning Bridges Mix of ‘Thing Called Love’ blends a chunky electro groove with a forward-thinking, euphoric melody drop. Sitting neatly outside genres, ‘Sun &amp; Moon’ is another festival-ready anthem with meaning from Above &amp; Beyond.
Above &amp; Beyond feat. Richard Bedford ‘Thing Called Love’ will be released on 12th June.

LYRICS:

Static, steady, plastic, motion
Lights flash, beating, almost, breathing
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

Empty, hollow, spit and swallowed
Preachers preaching, courage, ceded
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

So just forget about me, I will get by on myself
I’m not a simple machine, I have become something else
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

Wise up, scarecrow, this is treason
Coal eyes see it, straw heart beating
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

So just forget about me, I will get by on myself
I’m not a simple machine, I have become someone else
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

Ever after, I get further
Who will still be waiting?
Ever after, it gets further
I can feel you fading
