With the 2013 release of their chart-topping debut album Settle, British electronic duo Disclosure became one of the most talked-about new acts of the year. Featuring numerous collaborators including Edward MacFarlane of Friendly Fires, Jamie Woon, Jessie Ware, and London Grammar, the album's pop-oriented garage and house sound was both a critical and commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. The record's first three singles - "Latch (feat. Sam Smith)", "White Noise (feat. AlunaGeorge)", and "You & Me (feat. Eliza Doolittle)" - were among the year's most ubiquitous club hits, all placing within the UK Top 20 and garnering the album a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination. Brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence grew up in Reigate, Surrey, England, making their debut as Disclosure in 2010 with the funky dubstep tracks "Offline Dexterity" and "Street Light Chronicle." After following up with the Carnival EP in 2011, the brothers became increasingly sought out for remix work on the strength of their considerable production skills. In 2012, they picked up their first significant U.K. radio attention with the release of the "Tenderly"/"Flow" single and The Face EP, which featured their hugely popular remix of Jessie Ware's "Running." In 2013, Disclosure continued to build on their already-stellar reputation with a string of impressive live concerts, wowing ticket holders at the Glastonbury Festival in England before embarking on a critically-acclaimed world tour.
~~~~~~~~
UK garage duo Disclosure is definitely one of the most hotly tipped dance acts to emerge this year; even if siblings Guy and Howard Lawrence hadn't already released a handful of pretty good singles, their amazing take on fellow rising star Jessie Ware's "Running" seems enough to pay attention to their path for a while yet. Their The Face EP dropped earlier this month and the brothers have just now released their first official video for "Control" off the EP. Really, the Ben Murray and Ross MacDowell-directed clip is fairly basic dance clip stuff: a bunch of attractive young people in a studio somewhere thrash about artfully to Disclosure's seductive, bouncy song, while Disclosure's sort of creepy illustrated face symbol flickers intermittently on each dancer's visage. Really, there's a kind of Children of the Corn element to the whole thing, especially when you take into account how blonde the Lawrence brothers are. But the motivation is, you know, "getting down" instead of "homicidal pagan corn god."
"We'd never dumb down our sound, we've always made music with the same intention from the first track we ever put on Myspace," says Howard. "So if people are connected to that, it's good news for us." Without ever meaning to, they've become the example of how underground music can find success without concessions to the supposed rules of pop.
