Jungle

With a billion streams, two Top 10 albums, 750,000 album sales and a Mercury Prize nomination, the iconic production duo Jungle are one of the UK music scene’s biggest success stories. Now they return bigger, bolder and more ambitious than ever before; ‘Loving In Stereo’ is a dynamic disco record for the post social distancing age, with a dancefloor-igniting celebration of all the things that make music irresistibly fun.

Energetic and real are the first words that come to mind when you hear their huge summer singles ‘Truth’, ‘Keep Moving’ and ‘Talk About It’. The album also bursts into sounds that we haven’t heard from Jungle before; ‘Romeo’ represents Jungle’s first ever feature collaboration, the nostalgic yet postmodern ‘All Of The Time’ and the avant-funk/post-punk attack of ‘What D’You Know About Me?’.

‘Loving In Stereo’ is the focal point of the wider Jungle experience, in which music, aesthetics and choreography co-exist as one distinctive artistic vision. Each song has a music video to accompany it, forming a complete narrative universe and blend of startling choreography, urban locations and street style that have become essential hallmarks of Jungle’s visual aesthetic.

Weird don't usually swing this bloody hard! From the suited Yellow Submarine-like beastie throwing the horns on the cover to the electric vibraphone crunch inside (not to mention further subconscious stoking imagery from Thom Self) to the Butthole Surfers-esque, uh, singing, the latest from Mike Dillon's Go-Go Jungle is unabashedly “other." Dillon's jib is cut WAY different than the other monkeys brachiating around music, and we're goddamn lucky to have him - a flexed, unwavering warrior for ...
