DISCLOSURE | Settle
PMR/Island (2013)
Selected by Justin Chadwick
Initially propelled by their breakthrough, Sam Smith-blessed revelation “Latch,” Disclosure’s euphoria-filled, Mercury Prize-nominated debut long player Settle affirmed the Lawrence brothers’ penchant for crafting irresistibly addictive dancefloor bangers of the highest caliber. Blessed by an impressive crop of collaborators including Jessie Ware (“Confess to Me”), Jamie Woon (“January”), London Grammar (“Help Me Lose My Mind”), Eliza Doolittle (“You & Me”), Sasha Keable (“Voices”) and AlunaGeorge (“White Noise”), Settle inarguably stands as one of the most thrilling debut LPs released during the 21st century thus far. Aging remarkably well six years on now, Settle is essential listening that finds the sibling duo settling for nothing less than brilliance.
