Settle, the debut album from the brotherly British garage-revivalist duo Disclosure, is still a couple of weeks away, but I'm going to tell you right now that it's one of the best albums of the year. Thanks to the excellent singles "White Noise" and "You & Me," you've probably already heard one side of their sound: The sweetly melodic, R&B-derived slickness that they can conjure so well. But "When A Fire Starts To Burn," which more or less works as the album's opener, shows another side: The absolutely vicious riff-happy dance side. Even when they're making ferocious instrumental tracks, though, Disclosure sound more euphoric and approachable than you'd believe. "When A Fire Starts To Burn" is an absolute jam, and you can hear it below.

Settle is out 6/3 on PMR. Get excited.
