(Radio.com) "We're always writing. We've been writing as well for the last few months. It's just�we don't really know what we're writing for, we're just writing music." This is Howard Lawrence of Disclosure on the status of the British duo's second album that will follow the GRAMMY-nominated 2012 debut, Settle. "Some of it might it onto the record, some of it might not."

"We've been trying a lot of different stuff, I think because of what Guy [Lawrence] said. Because we're not working for any particular release, we're not writing for an album or an EP, we're just having fun with it," Howard revealed. "We've been experimenting with different sounds, we've been listening to a lot of different music than we were with the first album. I think that will naturally happen. We're not going to stray anywhere too far from what we did the first time around. We still feel like we've got a lot to give in that area."

When they're not performing live, the two are also accomplished DJs, spinning at clubs and festivals side by side as one. "We always DJ together. We've never not done that. I had to not turn up to a show the other day because I really injured my back, so Guy DJed on his own," Howard explained of a recent club gig in Los Angeles. "He said he'd play a song, and then turn to give me the headphones�" Guy jumps in to finish his brother's sentence: "�and he wasn't even there. more on this story
