Biografie
Jungle are a modern soul musical collective based in London.
Background
The two founding members of Jungle are Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland.[1] They have been friends since they were nine years old and were neighbours growing up in west London.[2] They were students at Latymer Upper School.[3] In 2010/11 they were part of an indie band called Born Blonde.[4] They formed Jungle at the start of 2013.[2] They initially hid their names and faces and identified themselves as 'J' and 'T'.[2]
Musical career
Jungle's musical style has been described as "midtempo 1970s-style funk"[5] and their music is intermixed with "tropical percussion, wildlife noises, falsetto yelps, psychedelic washes and badoinking bass".[3]
They released their single 'The Heat' on 21 October 2013 through Chess Club Records.[6] In December 2013 Jungle were nominated for BBC's Sound of 2014 prize.[7] The group played at South by Southwest in Texas in March 2014,[5] and at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2014.[8] Their debut album, 'Jungle' was released through XL Recordings on 14 July 2014.
