Disclosure (Greco-Roman, PMR Record) @ Settle Album DJ Tour - 1LIVE Rocker (14.07.13)
When Hot Natured's "Benediction" broke the top 40 in the UK, Jamie Jones felt the need to defend himself. "White Noise," Disclosure's second single from Settle, peaked at number two. But Guy and Howard Lawrence aren't on the defensive—far from it, in fact. The UK duo have embraced pop music, and who can blame them? They wear it just fine. After last year's wildly successful The Face EP, the two have the dance world under their thumbs and they look set to do the same with the mainstream. Settle is their plan of attack. Like Basement Jaxx before them, Disclosure have found the elusive common ground between pop and club music, and the result is this seemingly effortless summer album.
Settle doesn't feel like it's trying to be an underground dance music record. It's the complete opposite: a pop album brimming with imagination, vibrant melodies and, yes, a fair bit of formula. But all pop has to have formula—and lucky for them, Disclosure's happens to be a great one.
