Progressive Reviews: aname & Lydmor - Peaceful Avenues incl.unplugged mix out on Anjunabeats


Nordic dance duo aname and Danish singer-songwriter Lydmor collaborate on ‘Peaceful Avenues’, out now on Anjunabeats.

The collaborative work of Marcus Schössow and Thomas Sagstad reached its latest apex last year with their debut album ‘Beautiful World’, a record that the pair have envisioned since first meeting over two decades ago. Following on from solo work with the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Axwell /\ Ingrosso and Kaskade over the last ten years, the duo’s debut album is the latest milestone in their expansive discographies.

Originally featured as part of ‘Beautiful World’, ‘Peaceful Avenues’ is renowned as one of the biggest moments in aname’s set lists. Now, the anthemic track now sees its own release alongside multiple new mixes.

'Peaceful Avenues’ (Unplugged) sees Lydmor deliver a slow and emotional rendition of the popular track from a grand piano in Above & Beyond's studio. Also included in the release are a shorter edit of the original, as well as a full piano 'Unplugged' Instrumental Mix. Fans can expect to see behind-the-scenes footage of the recording process to be posted on aname and Lydmor’s social and YouTube channels in the coming weeks.

aname are currently on their worldwide Beautiful World Tour with upcoming shows in the USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Europe and more for any fans looking to see 'Peaceful Avenues' played out live in a city near them. Tickets on sale now (www.anamemusic.com/tour).

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]aname & Lydmor collaboration Peaceful Avenues is absolutely timeless classic and it is pretty sure that this track will age like the good old wine. The simplicity and the awesome touching performance of the so simple and involving lyrics that can even make u cry in the brilliant unplugged mix is definitely the loudest proof of how amazing this track is and that will become another stellar classic for the Anjunabeats family. The superb extended mix included will be played again in the clubs with fantastic pulsating basslines, big distorted like synthy stabs and excellent climax that seems to work so perfect to even offer some uplifting moments that dancefloors will adore big time. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
