a-ha’s *MTV Unplugged – Summer Solstice* sees the Norwegian trio reinterpret their back catalog in a stripped-back, acoustic format, resulting in a surprisingly potent live document.
- The recording took place at the Ocean Sound Recordings studio on the Giske island in Norway.
- The album features acoustic reworkings of 15 a-ha songs, including hits like "Take On Me" and "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.".
- The release reached number 7 on the German album charts and number 33 on the Swiss album charts.
Norwegian synth-pop trio a-ha broke through internationally in 1985 with their debut *Hunting High and Low*. The band were at a curious career juncture with *MTV Unplugged – Summer Solstice*, some 32 years after their initial global success.
