Trivia

Interesting facts about Latch. By Songfacts.

Disclosure is a Garage-House duo formed by brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence. The siblings grew up in Croydon, Surrey raised by musical parents and they first came to many people's attention when their EP, The Face, was released on June 1, 2012 to critical acclaim. During that summer the Lawrence's remix of Jessie Ware's track "Running" racked up more than a million plays across YouTube and SoundCloud, whilst their appearances at various festivals also gained Disclosure many new fans.


After Annie Mac debuted this song on her Radio 1 show, it amassed 150,000 plays on Disclosure's Soundcloud page in less than a week. It went on to become their first hit on the UK singles chart, when it was released on October 8, 2012.


The song originated from an idea Disclosure had to write a song in a different time signature to other dance tunes. Guy Lawrence explained to Spin magazine: "We just wanted to make a song in 6/8, in that time signature. You know, the swung, triplet-y kind of sound. There's hardly any other timing in dance music than 4/4, and all we wanted to do is just make a track in 6/8. That's how it started."
