Disclosure have unveiled their surprise new album Alchemy. It marks brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence’s first project to be independently released via their own Awal imprint, Apollo Records, after leaving Capitol Records. Listen below.
Work on the album began last year when Howard started outlining sketches in Los Angeles with friends and collaborators Max Margolis and DonnyBravo before sending the demos over to Guy, who was still in London. After Guy took his own crack at writing sketches, they met up in London to finish up the album.
“There was this combination of deep heartbreak and sadness, but also deep admiration and appreciation,” Howard said in a statement about the album’s title, which refers to their state of mind going into making the record. “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.
