Excluding their Flow State outputs, Above & Beyond’s ‘Almost Home’ marks their first single since October’s ‘Crash’. Teaming up with long time collaborator Justine Suissa, ‘Almost Home’ will be their first team up in over four years.
The four artists shine on ‘Almost Home’. Justine’s vocals are still incredible and perfect compliment Above & Beyond’s uplifting and serene melodic production.
Jono, Tony, Paavo, and Justine have been working together since the year 2000 when they formed the group OceanLab. In 2008, they released their first and only album ‘Sirens Of The Sea’, a record that has gained near-mythical status among trance fans. More recently, Above & Beyond and Justine have collaborated on club hits like ‘Alright Now’, ‘Cold Feet’ and ‘Another Chance’, and emotive, downtempo records like ‘Little Something’.
“This is a track that we originally wrote with Justine some years ago. Like many musicians during the lockdown, we buried ourselves in the studio and had plenty of time to pick through old ideas. ‘Almost Home’, with its ’80s production influences, caught our ear. We sent it across to Justine again, and she rewrote the second verse to reflect her feelings on it today – we won’t tell you what it’s about though, we’ll leave that for you to decide. This track started in quite a different form, so we’ve also done a Club Mix to bring it a bit more up-to-date. It’s quite emotional to think that we’ll be able to play this one live for you all very soon. Take care for now!” – Above & Beyond
The new single arrives just in time for their Group Therapy 450 milestone show at The Drumsheds in London this September. ABGT450 is their first headline show in over a year and will see the trio perform to an audience of more than 10,000 fans.
