Jungle’s recent singles - ‘Candle Flame’, ‘Dominoes’, ‘I’ve Been In Love’ and ‘Back On 74’ – see the band using the exemplary musicianship and live instrumentation of their renowned live shows as the foundation for their forward-facing, hybrid of disco, soul and hip-hop. Resulting in 25 million streams so far, the four tracks have earned extensive ongoing support at Radio 1 as well as further key airplay spanning Radio 2, Radio 5, 6 Music, Apple Music 1 and Radio X.
The new focus track ‘You Ain’t No Celebrity’ shows a different side to Volcano, the track starts with a lilting gospel fervour before switching up to a punchy hip-hop beat as featured artist and legendary, influential UK rapper Roots Manuva jumps in with his inimitable, charismatic bars.
Announced earlier this week, the Jungle Australian tour dates are now on sale. After playing Spark Arena in Auckland 15 May, Jungle will perform three dates down the east coast of Australia. The band will play their disco-infused floor fillers at Festival Hall in Melbourne on 17 May, head to Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on 19 May, before finishing up at Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 22 May.
With Volcano, Jungle have once again proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and innovative artists in electronic music. They continue to push the boundaries of their sound, creating an uplifting and free-spirited album, solidifying the duo’s status as one of the most important voices in contemporary music.
Volcano is irresistibly joyous throughout as it flows from the bold mission statement of opener ‘Us Against The World’ to the laid-back grooves of the closing track ‘Pretty Little Thing’ - their second collaboration with Bas. Jungle dart from highlight-to-highlight throughout Volcano, stepping up the intensity for ‘Holding On’, heading deeper into vibrant disco-soul for ‘Problemz’, and introducing their broadest array of creative community collaborators to date, with further guests in the shape of newcomer Mood Talk on ‘Don’t Play’ plus JNR Williams and 33.3 for the slow burner ‘Good At Breaking Hearts’.
Volcano is available to buy HERE, with a gatefold orange and white vinyl being the pick of the album’s physical formats. Meanwhile, ‘Volcano, The Motion Picture’ is available to view exclusively on the Jungle fanclub, with premiere passes available HERE.
Jungle are lifelong friends from Shepherd’s Bush, London. Their self-titled breakthrough debut album became an instant classic, leading to a Mercury Prizenomination, which they followed with the album For Ever before amplifying their success with Loving In Stereo - all contributing to a total of over a billion streams to date. Their extended live band has made them firm festival favourites, headliningWilderness and South Facing as well as drawing huge crowds as far afield as Coachella and Lollapalooza Brazil, while headline shows have included Alexandra Palace and multiple nights at the O2 Academy Brixton. Their visionary stylised and choreographed videos are also a major aspect of Jungle’s artistic identity, most notably with the ambitious visual narrative that spanned every track on Loving In Stereo.
