Disclosure Announce New Album "Caracal"
Before a headlining appearance at their own Wild Life Festival in Brighton today, Disclosure announced the details of Caracal, the highly anticipated followup to their 2013 smash debut Settle. The new album is slated for a 9/25 release, and Nao, Kwabs, and Lion Babe — all of whom are sharing the stage with Disclosure at Wild Life — are confirmed to feature. The LP is named after the caracal, a wild cat native to parts of Africa and Asia. Howard Lawrence of Disclosure explains:
A Caracal is an incredible wild cat that I became fascinated with while on tour last year; I just love the way they look, their physical capabilities and their anonymity. It felt like a perfect fit for our Wild Life brand too, so the Caracal made perfect sense as the lead visual for the new album and over the course of recording, it also felt like a natural title for the new record too.
There’s no full tracklisting available yet, but the new record will include the Gregory Porter collab “Holding On” in addition to an unreleased track called “Jaded,” which features Howard Lawrence himself on vocals. Watch a short but stylish trailer video for the album (soundtracked by “Holding On”) and check out newly announced dates for two US shows below.
Caracal is out 9/25 via PMR/Island Records; it’ll be available for pre-order starting tomorrow.
“And The Album of The Year goes to…” :)
“… Flume!” ;)
To Pimp a Butterfly
Very curious to hear what their collar with Lion Babe will sound like.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this will be as great as “Settle” was.
I love their evolution in the art style, really sets a nice direction for the album (hope it will live up to expectations)
need their poppy house music in my life again
craving the NAO’s featuring.
bomb
oh wow i didnt really follow disclosure after their last album eventhough i absolutely loved it. I didnt know they were this close to their new album already, love the song with gregory porter.
Love them !
Minute and a half previews are now available for every song on iTunes
leak is imminent
doesn’t seem so. Maybe a day before release
they’re having a listening party at a bar in my city the night before release so i’d like to think itd be leaked today or tomorrow. I’d be shocked if an album this big didn’t leak until the day before release.
Yah tomorrow would probably be the earliest for any leak of the album. Strange since Settle was leaked around a week before.
Beyond pumped for this…

man they are keeping this locked down well..
NOOO!!!! I missed the premiere of Magnets today!!!!! How was it for those who heard it?
It was decent. Not out-of-this-world, but pretty good. Check it out now, it’s outchea.
I agree. Solid track but nothing more.
Sounds amazing can’t wait for this one.
The Kingdom Leaks thing isn’t legit. Can someone change the status to “Has not leaked”?
Yes it is
Sounds pretty legit to me, what makes you think it’s not? Is it missing something?
