About
Jungle, Modern soul duo from London mixing electronic grooves with 70s funk vibes.
Jungle is a British modern soul and electronic music group led by Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland. Friends since childhood in West London, they officially formed the band in early 2013 after previously playing in an indie band. Initially anonymous as “J” and “T”, their sound revisits 70s funk with contemporary production. Signed to XL Recordings and later Caiola Records, Jungle's catalog includes several LPs and EPs featuring neo-soul, funk, and indie pop influences.
Notable for their polished production and danceable grooves, the band released their self-titled debut album in 2014, followed by subsequent albums and EPs including "FOR EVER" (2018) and "Loving In Stereo" (2021).
