When critics started hearing Disclosure.

“Disclosure’s Settle wasn’t just the best debut LP of 2013”

PITCHFORK ON KIESZA · 22 OCTOBER 2014

Pitchfork called Settle the best debut LP of 2013. Here are six later reviews that heard Disclosure elsewhere, in the order they were written.

Each comparison is something a critic wrote, dated, and linked where the review is online. It is not a claim about who shaped whom.
