Artist Information
Jungle are back in 2023 with their new album ‘Volcano’. This record builds upon the success of
the 2021 album ‘Loving in Stereo, which was met with critical and commercial success,
becoming one of the most acclaimed albums of the year. With ‘Volcano’, Jungle has once again
proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and innovative artists in electronic music. With
the infusion of disco, soul and hip-hop elements, Jungle continues to push the boundaries of
their sound, creating an uplifting and free-spirited album which is sure to be one of the highlights
of the year, solidifying the duo’s status as one of the most important voices in contemporary
music.
Jungle's journey began in Tom McFarland's bedroom in London, where he and childhood friend
Joshua Lloyd-Watson began experimenting with music production. With a passion for creating
soulful, funky beats and an affinity for live instrumentation, the duo quickly developed a unique
sound that would set them apart from their contemporaries. Jungle's music quickly gained
traction, and they soon found themselves performing at some of the most prestigious music
festivals and venues around the world.
The Mercury Prize-nominated, Gold-certified debut and 2018’s follow-up ‘For Ever’ both entered
the UK Top 10. ‘Loving in Stereo’ then amplified Jungle’s success further, reaching number 3 in
the UK charts, whilst rocketing to #1 in the US Billboard Dance Album Chart. These three
records have since amassed over 1,000,000 equivalent album sales and gained over a billion
streams. From the confines of Tom's bedroom, Jungle is about to embark on its next journey
with the release of ‘Volcano’, a testament to the power of passion, creativity, and hard work.
Alongside their recorded music, Jungle has developed into one of the most exciting and
innovative live acts in the world through their infectious grooves and immersive sound. They
kick off with their highly anticipated headline show at All Points East on the 26 th August, in
London’s Victoria Park. The show will see Jungle being supported by a stellar lineup of
international acts, in an event that will be one of the highlights of the UK festival season. This is
then followed up quickly by an extensive tour across North America and Europe, where Jungle
will play some of their biggest venues to date, bringing their electrifying live show to arenas
across the world. Jungle’s live shows this year promise to be a celebration of life, love and the
power of music to bring people together with their incredible live show.
With ‘Volcano’, Jungle are expanding their sound even further, with more innovative and forward
thinking production. From intricate and complex beats to soaring synths and soulful melodies,
this record is testament to Jungle’s skill as producers and their ability to create music that is
both timeless and modern. Collaboration is a key feature of this album, with legendary artists
such as Roots Manuva, Erick the Architect, Channel Tres and Bas all appearing across the
record.
Alongside their music, Jungle’s music videos, and visual universe more widely, have been a key
part of their identity. Through their use of vibrant choreography and beautiful, engaging
cinematography, Jungles’ iconic music videos have gained hundreds of millions of views on
YouTube. Jungle’s music videos for Volcano are perhaps their most ambitious yet, featuring
their signature choreography, with a slight twist. The videos are set to explore the universe
Jungle has created up to this point, however it will become clear that not all is what it seems.
Overall, the videos will be a stunning visual feast that will bring the Jungle world to life in a
whole new way.
Relax, sit back, and prepare to be transported to a new dimension of sound with Jungle’s highly
anticipated album ‘Volcano’. With its infectious energy and catchy melodies, each track will have
you dancing along from start to finish. So, plug in your headphones, turn up the volume, and let
Jungle's 'Volcano' take you on a journey that you won't forget.
