FEATURE ALBUM

Disclosure – Caracal
[PMR/Universal]

Minimixes, local listening parties, album trailers and a drip-feed of featuring artists to make your mouth water; that was the lead-up to Caracal. The follow-up to 2013 smash Settle features the Weeknd, Sam Smith and Lorde among others, so naturally its release has been plagued with lofty expectations and naysaying zealots who can't get passed radio staples Latch and When A Fire Starts To Burn.

Regardless, the British house duo aren't looking to comfort your nostalgia on Caracal, in fact, any remnant of their ARIA #5 debut LP is buried beneath a lush patchwork of mixing board wizardry.
