ABOVE & BEYOND Releases 'No One On Earth'; ACOUSTIC II Album Out This June

As the June 3 release date for ACOUSTIC II¸ ABOVE & BEYOND's side project quickly approaches, the trio -- Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki -- have made available another selection from the album with "No One On Earth."

The song -- an ABOVE & BEYOND classic written and performed with Faithless' Zoë Johnston -- has been reimagined as a smooth jazz number with brass and a downtempo beat.

"In 2004, in a very lonely and introspective phase of life, I went up to my attic studio with a CD of music I'd got in the post from three guys called 'Above & Beyond,'" says Johnston. "I wrote and recorded until 4am, dreaming of aliens coming to rescue me and take me to a humanless planet of intrigue and beauty for a little heart repairing session. We all want to go there sometimes, don't we? It turned out that this song was the start of a beautiful 12 year adventure with Tony, Paavo and Jono. I'm really fond of it."

ABOVE & BEYOND are a phenomenon unlike any other in dance music. The Grammy-nominated producers are the only British dance act to sell out Madison Square Garden, and now with an 18-piece band set up are in the middle of their sold-out tour of the world's most iconic concert halls including Sydney Opera House and Northern California's Greek Theatre amongst others in support of ACOUSTIC II. They will also appear at the Hollywood Bowl on May 28 to perform a sold-out show accompanied by a 34-piece orchestra. Original vocalists Zoë Johnston and Justine Suissa are joined by newcomers Natalie Holmes and Cobi, while JONO, TONY and PAAVO reach back into their own individual musical histories to perform different parts of the arrangements, including JONO on Rhodes, TONY on guitar and vocals, and PAAVO on piano at all shows.
