Disclosure have shared the music video for the latest cut "Jaded" taken from their new album Caracal. It is the third video in a series of four about a group of dance music loving outcasts in a dystopic, futuristic society run by a group of elite business businessmen in cahoots with the government who oppress everyone who isn't of their class.
"Jaded" continues the story started in "Holding On" and then continued in their new Sam Smith collaboration "Omen." One of the main protagonists, the lead woman in the outcast group is captured and interrogated by a hypnotist, but the tide is turned as the man tries to get the truth about her underground crew and instead sees the emptiness in himself.
As the Disclosure brothers sing in the pre-chorus, "So take a look at yourself and the stories you tell / Does the truth weight on your mind? / Tell me what did it cost when the moment was lost / Is this how you survive?"
It is a song about the fakeness and sameness of the electronic music scene where so many "producers" use ghost producers and so many artists are putting out tracks that sound very similar without putting much thought into the creativity into them.
This is the third music video in a series of four from Disclosure. They have not hinted at what the final track will be that gets the visual treatment.
Caracal will be released in 10 days on Sept. 25. The duo have already unveiled singles like "Hourglass," "Willing & Able," "Omen" and "Holding On" from the album. Pre-order the LP on iTunes here.
They will kick off a month-long North American tour at the end of the month that starts in Los Angeles at the Staples Center and finishes at Madison Square Garden. See full details about the tour here.
