This is a fun dance album, surprisingly enjoyable from start to finish. Here are a couple of the singles from the album, and some review blurbs / links stolen from Metacritic.
Disclosure - When A Fire Starts To Burn (Official Video) - YouTube
Disclosure - Latch feat. Sam Smith (Official Video) - YouTube
Mixmag - 100 - An album that perfectly epitomises the new wave of house music--and may even be its peak.
Pitchfork - 91 -The Surrey duo have not only made 2013's best dance record so far--they've also concocted one of the most assured, confident debuts from any genre in recent memory.
CMJ - 90 - Nothing on Settle is left wanting. Disclosure’s debut full-length, after a series of tight and well-curated EPs, has high points as high as any record this year.
PopMatters - 90 - We don’t always need the best dance record of the year to push the genre forward into unseen territory; it’s hard to see anyone besting Settle for the title in 2013, and it’s just as hard to argue we need much more from a record than the unadulterated joy pulsing through every beat here.
Billboard.com - 89 - The brothers have tapped into the amorphous joy at the heart of dance music, and have peppered Settle's masterfully executed tracks with that feeling.
Beats Per Minute (formerly One Thirty BPM) - 87 - It’s one of the most gleeful and replayable debuts of 2013.
