Disclosure 是来自英国伦敦的电音双人组合,由哥哥 Guy Lawrence 和弟弟 Howard Lawrence 组成,主要电音曲风是 House 跟 Deep House,第一张专辑《Settle》一发行直接空降英国专辑榜冠军,还曾经入围过 2014 年葛莱美最佳电音专辑,相当有潜力的英国新生代电音团体。前阵子在英国布莱顿领衔演出他们一手策划的 Wild Life 音乐节,这 Lawrence 兄弟档已正式分享了他们期待已久第二张专辑的消息。
两人的新专辑的标题是《Caracal》,定于今年秋季 9 月 25 日透过 Island发行。乐迷们已经尝到了完整版〈Holding On〉的滋味了,其深情主打单曲请来的合作主唱为 Gregory Porter(其实也只是在准备好的舞池重新做了disco混音),可想而知这两兄弟的实力确实惊人,仅仅是这洋的重製,一首优秀的作品就诞生了。
在声明中,Howard Lawrence 谈到专辑名称背后的灵感:「狞猫是令人难以置信的野生猫科动物,在去年巡演时我迷上了牠;我只是喜欢他们的洋子,他们的生理能力和他们的小名。这感觉就像一个完美符合我们「Wild Life」的招牌,所以在专辑和在录音的过程中,狞猫是非常有意义的首选视觉设计,对于新专辑来说也是一个自然的名称。」
The brothers Lawrence, aka Disclosure, have announced details of their next album. Caracal, the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2013’s Settle, will arrive on September 25th through PMR/Island Records.
As Howard Lawrence explains, the album’s title is inspired by “an incredible cat that I became fascinated with while on tour last year,” adding, “I just love the way they look, their physical capabilities and their anonymity. It felt like a perfect fit for our Wild Life brand too, so the caracal made perfect sense as the lead visual for the new album and over the course of recording, it also felt like a natural title for the new record too.”
The album is preceded by lead single “Holding On”, which features Gregory Porter. Other collaborators include Nao, Lion Babe, and Kwabs.
In support, the duo has scheduled two big shows in the US: at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on September 29th and at Madison Square Garden in NYC on October 24th.
