Escape is Gorgon City's second studio album, released on 10 August 2018. Revealed collaborations on the album were to be Vaults, Duke Dumont, Naations, Kamille, Ghosted, and D Double E.
At the beginning of 2015, shortly after releasing the last single from their debut studio album Sirens, "Go All Night" featuring vocals from Jennifer Hudson, they released a new single, which was called "Saving My Life", featuring vocals from musician Romans. This sparked much interest about the pair making more material for a second studio album.
A year later, in April 2016, they released the official audio of the lead single "All Four Walls", featuring vocals from British band Vaults. After releasing the single, the pair confirmed that their second studio album is to be titled Escape. Afterwards, "Impaired Vision", featuring vocals from Tink and Mikky Ekko was released. In between releasing the singles, promotional singles were also released: "Blue Parrot", "Doubts", and "Smoke". "Zoom Zoom" was released, featuring vocals from Wyclef Jean.
