The duo that smashed their way into the ears of the nation but a few months ago have brought out yet another ‘banger’. The follow up to their last single ‘You & Me’, which included the sultry tones of Eliza Doolittle, on the garage throwback track F For You (F actually stands for Fool) is set to be another summer smash.
It marks the first track that has been released by the two brothers where they have provided all of the vocals. Despite previous singles utilising the talents of some of the best voices in the country brother Howard certainly has held his own amongst his peers. This track is slick, sophisticated, energetic and summery with another beat that lies somewhere between garage, house, drum and bass and electro. Although it could be argued it doesn’t quite compare to ‘You & Me‘ at least this is pure Disclosure, showing they have what it takes to deserve to be at the top of this game.
Accompanying the release is the first video that actually includes the duo, showcasing the plethora of technical gadgets that make up their sound and giving you but a glimpse of what a live show could hold for an audience. Its simple and stylish and I imagine achieves everything they wanted it to. Now on the fourth single and already a household name there is no need to hide behind vocal giants and storyboard videos.
‘F For You’ is taken from their critically acclaimed debut #1 album ‘Settle’ and there are no signs of the record slowing down any time soon. It has already taken place as many peoples summer album and has led to an extensive touring schedule including 39 festivals this summer and a UK tour for later in 2013.
Release Date 18/08/2013 (PMR Records)
I have always had a passion for music. Growing up I spent many a Friday night glued to TOTP and many a Sunday attempting to record the Top 40 to tape. In secondary school I learnt the guitar and drums as well as being in every choir, sound crew and production I could. Finally, It was at University in Chester where I began to start writing reviews. Until then I didn't really think anyone would want to know my opinion. We had a guest lecturer come in and he had us do a minute task where we listened to a song and them had to write a descriptive one liner about it. I realised from this point that I could combine creative writing, music knowledge and opinion into something productive and interesting. That's when I signed up to Silent Radio. It was the perfect thing for me to get involved with, I could voice my opinion on the student airwaves and then write it for the website.Now I am a Music Production and Radio graduate, living in London and working my first industry job. I spend my days working at Metropolis Studios and my nights attempting to write well educated, witty and interesting reviews.When it comes to my taste in music I guess it's rather varied. I will pretty much give anything a listen. The genres closet to my heart would probably be rock, soul, funk and dance but thankfully my job is broadening my listening horizons even further. As a reviewer I would say I have a fan type approach and sometimes I am a little to generous when turning that dial but they are always honest and I hope to some degree, relevant. My hopes are to continue writing for SR, growing as a reviewer and expanding my music knowledge.
