After breaking their 15-month hiatus with “Ultimatum” in May, Disclosure [Howard and Guy Lawrence] are back in full-force with five fresh tracks this past week.
As if one new Disclosure song wasn’t enough, the UK-duo continued to delight throughout the week with five new songs. The tracks incorporate influences from around the world, and various genres from disco to acapella jazz to Sudanese funk. With these new releases, Disclosure continue to show their evolution after their pop-friendly 2015 release, Caracal.
Here’s how the week played out for Disclosure fans:
The Lawrence brothers began the week by debuting “Moonlight” via Benji B and Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show. The track blends vocal samples from The Real Group, a Swedish acapella group, into a mellow-grooving deep house track.
Following just 24-hours later, “Where Angels Fear To Tread” samples The Four Freshmen’s 1961-cover of the Jonny Mercer and Rube Blume track “Fools Rush In:” defined by a blipping bassline, accented snares, and a closing keyboard solo.
Disclosure then turned up the beat with “Love Can Be So Hard,” a disco track sampling UK-artist Princess’s 1986 pop hit “Say I’m Your Number One.”
The fourth release of the week, “Funky Sensation,” is a reboot of Alkalino’s edit of Gwen McCrae’s track by the same title that feels truly timeless and perfectly captures the disco vibe.
The duo debuted “Where You Come From” to conclude the week. The track is percussion heavy and sparsely dotted with vocal samples from Sudanese artist Kamal Keila. At the two minute mark, it breaks into dreamy tremolo synths before the final chorus.
Futhermore, the two brothers shared a new Spotify playlist with all five tracks entitled “Disclosure’s Record Bag.” The duo exclaimed:
“To celebrate, we’ve compiled a huuuuge playlist with the 5 new tracks and loads of amazing music from all different genres, decades and countries mashed together to give you an idea of where our inspiration comes from and what we are listening to now.”
This past week was an exciting glimpse into what the duo has been up to post-hiatus. With a handful of new tracks, fans can rest easy knowing Disclosure is full of inspiration while hard at work on their third album.
