With an illustrious career spanning 25 years, Above & Beyond are now set to deliver their fifth studio album, Bigger Than All Of Us, and the theme is reconnection. Released on March 21st, the lead single, “Quicksand (Don’t Go),” is perfect comeback evoking nostalgia and fresh energy. Above & Beyond display their signature emotional melodies and soaring vocals. “It’s classic Zoë Johnston,” shares Above & Beyond. “We’ve been working with her for 22 years, so she’s a part of the band. By that token, a song with her vocals is a very reassuring thing for our audience. It says: Above & Beyond are back, in a very recognizable form.”
As Johnston describes her deeply personal but sublimely universal lyrics:
I think most of us can relate to that feeling of desperation and dread when it comes to losing someone we love so deeply. The despair can be massive when you’re watching the grief rattle down the track toward you for quite some time before the moment of impact actually happens. Disappearing into quicksand. It’s scary, it hurts, and it’s lonely.
Originally debuted during the Group Therapy 600, “Quicksand (Don’t Go)” offers a glimpse of the magic fans can expect from Bigger Than All Of Us, set for release on July 18 through Anjunabeats.
This album is us appreciating how amazing this thing we have is. The realization of how lucky we are that we get to be part of something like this for 25 years, and to have built a community that cares for each other in the way it does. It’s not about any of us individually. When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.” – Jono, Paavo, and Tony – Above & Beyond
