Sun & Moon, to be released 7th March 2011, is the first single to be taken from Above & Beyond’s eagerly awaited second artist album Group Therapy.

Made for the festival stages and big room arenas of this world, the song blends a funky tech groove and a huge club-smashing riff with poignant, bittersweet break-up lyrics – sung by ‘Alone Tonight’ and ‘Stealing Time’ vocalist Richard Bedford.

A firm fans’ favourite from the trio’s recent sell-out gigs at Brixton Academy and the Hollywood Palladium, Sun & Moon is a track that’s made for festival stages and big room arenas. The sound of Above & Beyond at their grandest the song stands tall among their classics Alone Tonight, Can’t Sleep and Home. The track ‘Sun & Moon’ is set to be released on the 7th March with remixes from Kim Fai, Distance and 7 Skies.

“Sun & Moon is really ‘Alone Tonight’ part 2. It’s a break up song, but with a twist, namely the idea that even though relationships end in the physical world they live on in your memory forever. The original piece of music it was written over is a gorgeous naked arpeggio piece called ‘Mist’ that Jono and Paavo cooked up years ago and thinking about it now ‘Sun & Moon’ has had possibly the longest gestation of any of our songs: it exists in so many versions, many of which we hope to finish off. We played another mix of it in our live show in Beirut two years ago, but the current mix, with the massive riff, is very much a product of our recent ‘Group Therapy’ sessions. We love it!” - Above & Beyond’s Tony McGuinness.
