AlunaGeorge have spoken about their collaboartion with Disclosure and finding their own fans with their own sound outside of the runaway success of 'White Noise'.

Speaking to Gigwise backstage ahead of their headline set at Ibiza Rocks 2013, the band said that were priviliged to have 'tried something different' with the dance duo.

"The Disclosure track did take on a life of its own, but I think it did for Disclosure as well," said singer Aluna Francis. "It was slightly different for them and us. It's one of those songs that just goes around the world and was really exciting to be involved in."

Their debut album, Body Music, was released last week to rave reviews. Aluna said that was a 'relief' to finally have a full body of work out there in the public domain. 

"Our album is our baby, and it's a pretty solid baby - it's bouncing around happily," she said. "It feels really good to have it out there, because up until that point people had a couple of songs to hold on to and after a while people just need to know who you are as an artist. Maybe we could have pulled it out quicker, but we did it as soon as we could."

Speaking about their plans for the future, Aluna added: "We don't tend to multi-task - we're a bit one-dimensional like that. When we were writing, we didn't tour at the beginning of the year or last year that much. We think that the live shows are really important and deserve our full attention. We don't do things by halves, so we're too busy prancing around on stage to do any writing.

"We're just going to take it as far as it will go. That's all you can hope for. If we started planning things now then we'd be different people, we didn't plan this from the beginning so we just take each day as it comes."
