indie/neo-funk act Jungle's self-titled debut album was one of highly calculated mystery. The band came out of the ether first in the form of several videos featuring mostly dancers but no bandmembers. Stills from these videos were subsequently used as press photos and the membership of the band was kept almost entirely anonymous.
Artist: Jungle Album: Jungle Genre: Neo-soul, Funk, Disco Label: XL Recordings Released: 2014 Quality: FLAC (tracks) Tracklist: The Heat (03:16). Digested as individual singles rather than as an entire album in one sitting, Jungle fares far better.
Throughout their first album, they favor the bantamweight soul reminiscent of early '80s British acts like Imagination, Fun Boy Three, I-Level and Fine Young Cannibals, to name but a few. But it’s the group’s sense of simple, dance-focused visuals that have attained a certain level of buzz. Peel back those effective visuals and their sonic palette is rather confectionary: pliant bass, simple 4/4 beats, spindling guitar.
Jungle have always felt like an LA band. On their debut album, the London duo crafted an intoxicating brand of throwback pop-funk best suited for cruising through the San Fernando Valley, or roller-blading down by Venice Beach. They dreamed far bigger than the London bedroom in which they recorded their self-titled debut album. Second album ‘For Ever’ sees them embrace the West Coast’s glitz and glamour, as well as The City Of Angels’ crushing pitfalls. After their debut album’s release in 2014, Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland had the world at their feet.
