In what marks their fourth studio album following 2020’s Energy, Alchemy follows the pair’s departure from Capitol Records and will be their first album to be independently released through their AWAL imprint, Apollo Records.
Alchemy also comes a decade after the release of Disclosure’s 2013 debut album Settle, which featured the gargantuan dancefloor hit Latch ft. Sam Smith.
“This record is a celebration of us feeling liberated right now,” Guy Lawrence said in a statement about their latest project. “We’re no longer signed to a major record label. We’re not going to tour this record. We can do whatever we like and be super creative.”
Not only does Alchemy mark a major shift for the musos as they drop their first independent record, but they’ve also revealed that the album will not feature any collaborations or samples whatsoever.
