With the official release of Above & Beyond’s acoustic album nearing – January 28th – the trio aim to draw fans in emotionally with the teaser for their film, which is set to premiere January 24th via Thump. From this trailer it’s easy to see that the performance aspect of A&B’s live acoustic show is drastically different from EDM. The level of musicianship displayed is outstanding.
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.
Above & Beyond Acoustic film will premier on THUMP Friday, Jan 24th 9PM GMT / 4PM EST. The album pre-order will be available December 17th on Anjunabeats and Ultra Records with instant download of ‘Love Is Not Enough’. – via Thump’s YouTube page
