Dutch electronic duo Tangent returns after a 3-year hiatus with “Disclosure,” their 7th album, released today via n5MD. The album draws on ambient, electronic, and IDM sounds, revisiting the shadowy, dystopian atmosphere that has long defined the duo’s musical identity.

“Disclosure” references these themes: things long hidden, inner conflict, doubt, and facing what’s been kept out of sight for a long time, after a hard time and a long hiatus. Tangent creates a world where darkness and hope can live together across seven tracks.

The opening title track, “Disclosure,” sets the tone, tracing the slow arrival of uncomfortable truths. At its heart, the idea moves from creepy tension to a darker, heavier reality, with a growing sense of discomfort. “Absence of Force” explores the resistance of silence and the search for your voice through control and emotional control.

The next track, “Unfound Existence,” is introspective and concerns the search for identity and self-understanding. Its theme of entering uncharted personal or creative territory adds a further dimension to the album’s rumination on change and uncertainty.

“Denial” explores internal conflict in the face of difficult realities. The track explores the gap between what people know and what they are prepared to accept. “Vector of Acceleration” suggests a more primitive existential horror, the sense that things are slipping out of our control. Another way to look at this tension is “Sonoluminescence,” a track about hope, survival, and seeing the light after the dark. It’s an emotional breath of fresh air in the album’s dark world.

“Opposing Forces“ is the album’s closing track, and it leaves you with a feeling of tension and unresolvedness. It captures the eternal struggle between hope, darkness, and change, without a clear answer. Tangent is back in the sound with “Disclosure,” and each song approaches that territory from a different angle, creating a connected journey through hard truths, personal discovery, fear, and the possibility of moving forward. The album invites you to sit with the questions.
