From the layered harmonies of \u2018Here Comes the Sun\u2019 to the groundbreaking medley on Side B, Abbey Road Studios became synonymous with innovation. And as <strong>Pink Floyd <\/strong>brought \u2018<em>The Dark Side of the Moon<\/em>\u2018 to life, and film scores like <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em> and <em>Black Panther<\/em> found their symphonic soul, the studio\u2019s reputation for changing our concept of sound was forever consecrated.<\/p>\n<p>And now, this iconic studio\u2019s legendary tenor is hitting the road\u2014literally\u2014with the debut of <strong>Abbey Road Studios Mode<\/strong> in <strong>Volvo\u2019s EX90<\/strong>. When <strong>Volvo Cars<\/strong> brought their <strong>Bowers &#038; Wilkins<\/strong> partnership into Abbey Road Studios, the goal was clear: to redefine what in-car audio could be. The result? The Abbey Road Studios Mode, a cutting-edge sound feature making its debut in the Volvo EX90.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun (2019 Mix)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KQetemT1sWc?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.clashmusic.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<hr>\n<p>The partnership was unveiled at a packed-out event inside Abbey Road Studios, hosted by DJ and broadcaster <strong>Jamz Supernova<\/strong>. It wasn\u2019t just another launch\u2014it was a sensory deep dive into the magic of sound. Guests roamed Studio Two, immersed in the same sonic environment that has shaped albums from <strong>The Beatles<\/strong> to <strong>Ezra Collective<\/strong>, whose Mercury Prize-winning jazz ensemble capped off the evening with an energetic live performance.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ezra Collective - God Gave Me Feet For Dancing (ft.

Developed with Abbey Road\u2019s engineers, the technology emulates the acoustics of the studio spaces and the vintage EMI-era equipment that has shaped decades of iconic records. Whether you\u2019re cruising to 70s prog-rock or turning up the volume on<strong> Kendrick<\/strong>, this mode is designed to transform your Volvo EX90 into a rolling sound stage.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"squabble up\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fuV4yQWdn_4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.clashmusic.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<hr>\n<p>It\u2019s not just about better audio though; it\u2019s about putting listeners in the producer\u2019s chair,with configurable settings to tweak tonality, expand the stereo field, and even mimic specific studio acoustics. For those less confident in sound engineering, there are four curated presets. It\u2019s in-car sound customisation taken to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the point. Volvo isn\u2019t just selling cars; it\u2019s selling experiences. The EX90 already boasts a powerhouse Bowers &#038; Wilkins system with 25 strategically placed speakers, including headrest and ceiling units. But with the addition of Abbey Road Studios Mode, Volvo is signaling that it\u2019s not just about getting from A to B\u2014it\u2019s about enjoying and personalising the journey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This collaboration also reflects a wider trend in the automotive world. Brands like Volvo are leaning hard into cultural partnerships to connect with a generation that values creativity and individuality as much as performance. Like <strong>Bentley<\/strong> with its recent <strong>PICANTE<\/strong> <span>capsule<\/span>, Volvo is recognising that the future of luxury lies in storytelling, innovation, and relevance.<\/p>\n<p>Premium cars aren\u2019t just vehicles\u2014they\u2019re platforms for art, sound, and inspiration.<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clashmusic.com\/columns\/studio-on-wheels-volvos-abbey-road-mode-brings-the-soundstage-to-your-drive\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music When The Beatles recorded \u2018Abbey Road\u2018 at the now-iconic studio of the same name, they weren\u2019t just making music\u2014they were redefining it.
