The UK's most popular DJ/producers, Above & Beyond are at a tipping point with the release of their second album Group Therapy. The first single from the album, the synth-driven 'Sun & Moon' is hooking major props from dance music mogul Pete Tong - topping the Beatport Trance chart and reaching top 5 on the iTunes Dance chart. Bringing Above & Beyond's renowned blend of classic songwriting values and sleek electronic production into a contemporary context, Group Therapy will extend their appeal into the furthest reaches yet.
Combining elements of trance 2.0, house, electronica and even modern classical, Group Therapy is a complete listening experience that includes the bittersweet orchestral beauty of piano opener 'Filmic,' the dark tale of edgy electronic-house anthem 'Black Room Boy' and the ambient electronica of 'Sun In Your Eyes' - a track which recalls ambient's early-90s glory days of Global Communication, Pete Namlook et al.
With tales of loves lost, found and confused at Group Therapy's heart, highlights like 'Alchemy,' 'You Got To Go' (both sung by former Faithless/Bent vocalist Zöe Johnston) and future single 'Thing Called Love' (feat. Richard Bedford) are the antithesis of throwaway club music - adding depth, meaning and classic songwriting values to an album destined to go down as one of electronic music's classic moments.
