Being only
teens when they hit the underground garage scene, Surrey boys Disclosure have been active in the
industry for over three years already. The duo, made up of brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence have already toured with the likes of Hot Chip, remixed the music of Crystal
Fighters and Everything Everything
and are set to release their debut album ‘Settle’
on 3rd June. Fusing together garage, House and electropop, the
twosome have teamed up with London-born singer songwriter Eliza Doolittle for their latest single ‘You & Me’.

Having
already reached number 10 in the UK
Single’s Chart this chilled, typically garage track immediately sets itself
apart from Disclosure’s original
work, reflecting a shift in their intentions as a band. Although they’ve
enjoyed moderate success with their earlier work, the brothers have clearly
noted the current popularity of Drum ‘N’ Bass as well as making use of a
mainstream vocalist for extra publicity. It’s heavily produced but very
polished and irresistibly Old School.
The
collaboration is full of Pop style hooks, syths, two-step garage beats and
lyrical content that proves Disclosure are
making attempts to invade the mainstream Dance world. ‘You & Me’ is driven by the distinctive, sultry tones of Doolittle and the motif of love, “So
please don’t let go, ‘cause you know exactly what we found. So please don’t let
go my darling.” Although the laid-back track fails to ripen into a culmination
and becomes rather cyclic and monotonous, it would be ideal for unwinding on
warm summer evenings and is ideal for heavier, club-friendly and more
commercial remixes.
Disclosure
have embraced a throwback garage style and produced a light, summery track
that’s perfect for the festival stint in the coming months. Despite the fact
that the duo have embraced intricate layering techniques, ‘You & Me’ is held together by Eliza Doolittle’s lyrics rather than their mingling of delicate
sound effects and rhythms.
