Disclosure Reach New Heights In Kaleidoscopic Album, "Alchemy"

Disclosure are delightfully unhinged in Alchemy, their fourth album.

Tinctures of Disclosure’s beguiling deep home sound are splayed all through the album, however the duo mutate it with a markedly extra club-focused edge. You’re extra more likely to fall in love on the dancefloor than sweat the night time away on it.

Released independently through Disclosure’s personal Apollo Records imprint, Alchemy has no visitor options or samples. The album has the texture of one thing unshackled and free, the byproduct of a renewed sense of artistic imaginative and prescient. It’s a giant second for the influential dance music tandem, who not too long ago parted methods with Capitol Records.

“This record is a celebration of us feeling liberated right now,” stated Disclosure’s Guy Lawrence in an announcement. “We’re no longer signed to a major record label. We’re not going to tour this record. We can do whatever we like and be super creative.”

Alchemy kicks off with “Looking For Love,” a saccharine stunner that soars with sweeping arpeggios and gooey synths. The identical may be stated of “Talk On The Phone,” a kaleidoscopic anthem channeling the fuzzy, vocoded heat of Daft Punk.

Elsewhere within the album, its rapture hits a fever pitch when Disclosure uncage the aptly-titled “Higher Than Ever Before,” the place sultry lounge funk meets frenetic breakbeat. Like the remainder of its radiant Alchemy counterparts, this monitor is a cathartic ode to the resilient.

“There was this combination of deep heartbreak and sadness, but also deep admiration and appreciation,” added Disclosure’s Howard Lawrence. “Let’s turn this horrible feeling into something beautiful. The whole idea was to channel pain into beauty, which, in hindsight, is always the aim.”
