Disclosure returned last February with the brand new Ecstasy EP where they rolled out a track a day over five days in the same vein to their last release, the Moonlight EP (2018). Only this time, the Ecstasy EP was in fact, a precursor to their third album ENERGY released in August on Island Records. ENERGY secured the bands third Top 5 album and third album grammy nomination along with a further nomination for the single My High ft. Amin slowthaiENERGY pits a raucous rhythm from an album of Brazilian library music against a sample of Eric Thomas, the same hip hop preacher whose words memorably appeared on 2013s When a Fire Starts to Burn. A global spectrum of talented artists grace the record and for the first time this includes rappers. Appearances from Mick Jenkins, Channel Tres, Amin and slowthai sit comfortably alongside the legend that is Common. Other features include the inimitable Kelis who opens the album and Fatoumata Diawara who the boys have also linked up with previously. Cameroons Blick Bassy brings his own flow to the table while a powerhouse team of Kehlani Syd ease the pace with their contribution.
