ENERGY, Disclosure's third album, arrived on Monday (August 31). Pitchfork's review describes glossy yet gritty disco pop whose true lineage is the Y2K chart-house sound once ubiquitous on UK airwaves.

Guy and Howard Lawrence make songs you can take anywhere: meticulously crafted, comfortably danceable, ready for the biggest festival slots and the uppermost playlist spots. Parts of the duo's original, world-beating formula remain unchanged.

The guest list is long, running from veterans like Kelis and Common to newer voices such as Channel Tres and Kehlani. Channel Tres brings his purring monotone to Lavender, a hip-house-meets-filter-disco romp that touches the glitz of Daft Punk and the Neptunes; Kelis dances over a stretchy bassline on Watch Your Step.

According to the review, the album starts promisingly and peters out in the second half. The title track reunites the duo with Eric Thomas, whose voice appeared on 2013's When a Fire Starts to Burn, this time over a noisy samba band sample and a burst of silvery synth.
