Jungle are based around a core musical duo of lifelong friends known simply as ‘J‘ and ‘T‘, who expand to a thrilling seven piece live, and make mesmeric, kaleidoscopic modern soul that’s unmistakably born in the UK but has true global appeal (their “Platoon video has already racked up more than 4 million views). The album was recorded between the band’s own home studio in Shepherds Bush, London and the XL Recordings studio in Ladbroke Grove.

 

The album track list is:

1. The Heat

2. Accelerate

3. Busy Earnin’

4. Platoon

5. Drops

6. Time

7. Smoking Pixels

8. Julia

9. Crumbler

10. Son Of A Gun

11. Lucky I Got What I Want

12. Lemonade Lake
