Brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, aka Disclosure, unveiled their forthcoming album title Caracal will be released September 25, 2015 in the U.S. This anticipated release follows Disclosure’s highly-lauded debut Settle, which has gone on to sell 1.6 million units worldwide, 5.3 million singles, and helped launch the career of Sam Smith with breakout single “Latch.”
“A caracal is an incredible wild cat that I became fascinated with while on tour last year. I just love the way they look, their physical capabilities and their anonymity,” explains Howard Lawrence. “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.”
After teasing fans with “Bang That,” a hard-hitting house track with a vocal sample taken from 313 Bass Mechanic’s “Pass Out,” Disclosure properly premiered Caracal with the first single, “Holding On,” featuring Grammy-winning Jazz vocalist Gregory Porter. Entertainment Weekly called it a “prime dance cut” while FADER wrote, “The track combines the group’s love for itchy, classic garage rhythms with rich, sonorous vocals.”
The GRAMMY®-nominated duo have established themselves as keen musical curators, as their collaborations demonstrate, and revealed a partial list of forthcoming guest vocalists to include Lion Babe, Nao and Kwabs, as well as Gregory Porter.
