Thread of Disclosure

Disclosure's music is pretty different to Ill Blue or DJ Q. They cross over into your Tensnake house type sets.

i like disclosure but really don't like the alunegeorge song ugh

and i'm someone who adores "latch"

I like Disclosure but I can't help worry what would happen if they lost whatever it is they use to make those pitch-bending sine wave melodies.

i like "white noise", "latch" and an early single called "carnival" but for me the crowning moment for them is still that jessie ware remix

Joe Goddard's mix of "Control" and Dixon's mix of "Boiling" from the Face EP are both really good.

I'm not so keen on the original Control, it feels kind of half-formed, but that Joe Goddard remix is an absolute monster and possibly the best thing he's been involved with.

"You & Me" is insanely good:

That's pretty great, as usual.

2nd Matt DC on that Goddard remix

01 Intro
02 When a Fire Starts to Burn
03 Latch [ft. Sam Smith]
04 F for You
05 White Noise [ft. AlunaGeorge]
06 Defeated No More [ft. Ed Mac]
07 Stimulation
08 Voices [ft. Sasha Keable]
09 Second Chance
10 Grab Her
11 You & Me [ft. Eliza Doolittle]
12 January [ft. Jamie Woon]
13 Confess to Me [ft. Jessie Ware]
14 Help Me Lose My Mind [ft. London Grammar]

my coffee table aches with anticipation

Bless them for wheeling out poor little Jamie Woon again.

lol ikr

strangely disappointed that london grammar arent the naff uk raphop group i'd instinctively assumed they'd be

Huh, no Control?

this "ed mac" character sounds ominous

I was high on "You & Me" for a couple days.

^would make a good jessie ware lyric

haha

wot, no emeli sandé?

feeling this album a lot more than i expected to - the trackier stuff really works as a counterbalance

weepy version of "latch" that i am surprisingly into

so this is out there and HOLY SHIT

This is a bit too samey for my liking and a lot of it hinges on how strong the guest vocalists are, so it doesn't really pick up until nearer the end and there isn't anything as strong as "Control" or "Boiling". Having a track called "Grab Her" is a bit uncomfortable when it doesn't have any lyrics that expand on those two words.

is there a version out there with all the tracks yet?

seek therapy

rest of your post otm though i reckon. 'control' and 'boiling' definitely a notch above

lex's "the trackier stuff really works as a counterbalance" is absolutely correct in general, only on first blush this album features the weakest yet examples of this - not just in terms of wider ukg mixes and stuff but of their own bits too, 'lividup', 'whats in your head', 'intention is war', 'tenderly' (wiley and j2k version on this is a good look missed) all previously having had a lot more oomph and contextual vivacity

although i suppose a charitable man could always construe leaning back too far on your full length album as the ne plus ultra of garage homage

it does have the unfortunate and possibly fatal vibe of some forgotten 99-02 promo cd given a spin out of the bargain bin

"Defeated No More" is lovely, like a housier version of the early Vikter Duplaix singles. But nothing else of the new material really jumped out at me on first listen.

The album form isn't really optimal for them, given their primary appeal normally is how much more sparkly and pearly-pert their productions sound than anything else around; running so many together makes it sound too easy and a bit boring.

i agree that's been the case but not to the extent where i've thought the album format was something anywhere near out of their reach either. this was misconceived is all

'defeated no more' is a standout ya. also thought mmjw distinguished himself on 'january'

can't seem to decide on the ware cut, kinda dope kinda cluttery

srsly though this isnt even some big classic or anything but it would've vibesed this album up a treat singlehandedly

gruesome cover art not doing this any favours either it must be said

is there a version out there with all the tracks yet?

this is a point though tbf. perhaps 'intro' will be a track so wholly, devastatingly satisfying in every possibly way that the rest of the record will take on a new clarity in lambent post-coital bliss

or just the unadorned vocal sample from the following track

i'll still need to hear it just to be sure

Deluxe edition bonus tracks
15. "Boiling" (featuring Sinéad Harnett)
16. "What's In Your Head"
17. "Tenderly"
18. "Running (Disclosure Remix)"

yeah see this record is p much the gold standard for the "what is album in the modern age" pickle

Intro was one of the best tracks on The xx album so it wasn't beyond the bounds of possibility

Leaning toward cluttery on the ware cut.

Would have preferred her to guest on "my intention is ware"

or just the unadorned vocal sample from the following track

I listened to Zane Lowe debut "When A Fire Starts To Burn" on his show and I can confirm the above to be true, unless he played an exclusive intro to the aforementioned track or something.

lol at them mentioning the piece i wrote for vice that mentioned them in their interview with Dummy this week

lol yes i saw that. tbh that older brother sounds like a dooooouche

i'm just waiting for someone else to post the other cuntroversial disclosure thinkpiece that's ringing out on the e-corner right now

wouldnt want it to look like i have a vendetta or anything y'see

All this stuff appears to have completely confused and wrongfooted a lot of Reynolds disciples/Dissensus types who have been paying zero attention to house music for a decade and have gotten used to treating it as an antiquated backwater.

What's the other one?

Blackdown, but he´s scoffed at just as much, if not more, at Dissensus as over here (not just me either!). Just as well, that was such a dreadful post I wouldn´t want to give it any more attention than it deserves.

It makes me want to like the album more than I do.

this album, whilst still not being particularly demanding of either senses or intellect, seems quite satisfactory for a sunny day with light to medium breeze

think it can go to four stars from three, just about

i think this album's undemanding nature is why i was pleasantly surprised by it - i'd always got a vague and non-specific try-hard vibe off disclosure before but really this album is just very pleasant and unassuming, it's nicely sequenced and peaks in the right way at the right time etc. apart from the ed macfarlane one, he seems to be the token random horrible indie singer for the ed sheeran market

who is the singer on "f for you" and why don't they get a credit?

really like help me lose my mind

That just makes me endorse it all the more.

It, like, ALL sounds like "Latch."

So "Bang That" isn't on the album? That's the only new track I like!

I liked the new album a lot better when I realized they were fans of Kerri Chandler tbh.

Weird that this is one of only two references to soulection on ilx

seems target played a henry wu track on his 1xtra show this week, remarkably ('midtour' him at his most nu-bruk)

meanwhile annie mac's two hottest records of the week in a row recently were black coffee 'we dance again' and champion x four tet 'flipside' (vintage funky relick, see also the ace new katy b). that mele 'ambience' has probably got something to do with it too

i'm gonna make you rich bud fox

the first half of the new record is really good, early 00s basement jaxx vibes

It's pretty banging. "Ecstasy" probably better than anything on the album proper though.

i was just thinking about these guys yesterday, randomly. i still get annoyed when i remember how they slagged off shanks & bigfoot.

Not really feeling this :(

definitely a few jams on this

someone should have told me about "My High", this is my shit

btw “Ecstasy” is on the deluxe version of the album

posted this in another thread but the mj cole remix of "birthday" is so sublime

very good album. growing on me for sure. i wish more EDM in 2020 sounded like this.

"My High" rules pretty hard

Ces n'est pas for me. That song rips and exhibits production and arrangement perfection.

i really like this as a whole for sure. it'll probably place in my 10 or 15 for the year. idk why but a lot of if reminds me of post-blackout britney spears.

i feel like if any random "pop artist with stans" had released this exact album it would probably have its own thread by now.

it's pretty good and they have good instincts on how to pair their guests and beats. Birthday is prob my fave track.

love this one
