Disclosure have just released a brand new track called ‘Apollo’ – their first new material since the release of Mercury Prize-nominated debut album Settle. The timing of the surprise release could be seen as an attempt to boost their exposure before the Mercury Prize ceremony this Wednesday, or as an attempt to deflect attention from […]
