Disclosure by Christina Arza
It’s set to be a busy week for Disclosure.
In My Arms is the first of five new songs Disclosure are planning to release as this week progresses.
“The lyrics of this one came from the feeling of the chords,” explains Howard Lawrence. “They felt celebratory and longing at the same time somehow.”
Seduction, Another Level, It’s Happening and Never Enough are all to follow before they’re all bunched under the title of the final song mentioned on August 20th.
“The spark that ignited the creation of this body of work came from a place of wanting to revitalise a very fractured and uncertain dance music scene and club culture that has changed so much all over the world for obvious reasons in the last 18 months,” Guy Lawrence says.
“While piecing together initial ideas during the spring of 2021, hope began to glimmer on the horizon for producers and DJs that we may soon be able to gather together again, dancing and listening to music as one, participating in something larger than ourselves.”
“So we asked each other, ‘what would we want to hear in those moments?’. What does that first moment back in a club sound like?’. ‘What does walking into Shangri-la, Glasto at 2am feel like again?’. What does a headline show at Reading look like after all the difficulties 2020 brought on our whole industry?’.”
“With all these questions unanswered and with the possibility that any of these events may actually be allowed to take place, we set to work on creating something that might fit one of those magical moments some of us have been longing to participate in again.”
