Jungle

Whether it’s on a videogame soundtrack, in a television advert or going viral on TikTok, London-based duo Jungle’s music is omnipresent. Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland make modern music for old souls, blending electronic, funk, pop and beyond into something eclectically fresh yet nostalgic. Jungle’s impact upon their 2013 debut was immediate: soulful, textured singles “Platoon” and “The Heat” and their choreographed videos—now a catalogue staple—earned the group a shortlisting on BBC Radio 1’s prestigious Sound of 2014 poll. Before Jungle even released their self-titled debut album in 2014, they had already hit the U.S. late-night-television circuit with breakthrough hit “Busy Earnin’”. The duo lyrically and creatively pushed themselves further on 2018’s For Ever and 2021’s Loving in Stereo, emerging with introspective yet universal songs about love and loss, healing and liberation, and for the first time inviting featured artists into their world.
