Above & Beyond Discuss 'Acoustic II' Album & Why They 'Applaud' Avicii's Retirement

As electronic music has officially cemented itself in the mainstream music consciousness over the past few decades, classical music has firmly remained in the background. But Above & Beyond are out to solidify, once and for all, how the two worlds can coexist with their Acoustic II album.

The British trance trio's new release follows up 2014's Acoustic album, which reworked tunes from their past discography by adding striking guitar and gorgeous piano blended into the mix. And, as A&B member Tony McGuinness tells Fuse, the new LP is "stretching what Above & Beyond is in people's eyes."

Inspired by classic MTV Unplugged shows and by working closely with producer producer Bob Bradley (Pet Shop Boys, Sugababes), McGuinness shares more insight with Fuse behind Acoustic II.
