Label GB

Jungle is a British modern soul musical collective formed in 2013 by Tom McFarland and Josh Lloyd-Watson. Known for their unique blend of funk, soul, and electronic music, Jungle has quickly gained recognition for their energetic live performances and infectious grooves.

With their self-titled debut album released in 2014, Jungle achieved critical acclaim and commercial success. Their distinctive sound combines catchy melodies with intricate production techniques, creating a fresh take on contemporary soul music.

Since then, Jungle has continued to captivate audiences worldwide with their electrifying stage presence and genre-defying sound. With each release, they push the boundaries of modern soul music while staying true to their roots. Whether you're a fan of funk or electronic music, Jungle's irresistible rhythms are sure to get you moving.

An independent record label, XL Recordings was launched in 1989 by Richard Russell and his team. Originally an off-shoot of City Beat Records, XL quickly became known for releasing rave and dance music. Over the years, XL has grown to become one of the leading labels in the industry, managing a roster of talented artists including *Leah Riches*, *a6001996*, and *a60243*. In 1996, XL officially incorporated and became the copyright-holder of its releases. To celebrate their 15th anniversary in 2004, XL launched their XLXV series of re-issues. Today, they continue to thrive as a pioneering force in the music world.

Back In Stock

The album is titled For Ever and is released via XL Recordings. If Jungle’s first album was their imaginary soundtrack to the places they had never been, For Ever is inspired by real life experiences of the places they’d dreamed of for so long. Swapping Shepherds Bush for the Hollywood Hills, J and T set up camp in Los Angeles to write and record the album. Over time however, their romanticization of The Californian Dream clashed with the reality of actually living it, the feeling of being adrift on the West Coast compounded by the collapse of long-term relationships. Returning home to London, they teamed up with highly regarded young producer Inflo where they sought to create a "post-apocalyptic radio station playing break up songs”, whittling down loads of ideas this concept spawned into the core 13 tracks you have before you. That station and those songs and that journey are the sound of Jungle’s second album For Ever. They had to go away to come home. And what J and T lost in love, they gained in music. For Ever is for real, deeper and higher, more intimate and more expansive, feelgood and, just occasionally, feelbad. It is, then, a proper second album.
