Towards the end of 2013 Jungle burst onto the scene with their first two singles: "The Heat" and "Platoon." Appearing out of nowhere and propelled by feverish word of mouth online and IRL, Jungle would transform over the next few years from an anonymous production duo to a kaleidoscopic, personality-filled seven-piece live band built around the core duo of Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, whose debut album (2014's self-titled Jungle) was one of the year's defining debut records; one that would end up nominated for the UK's Mercury Music Prize and go on to sell over half a million copies.
Josh and Tom describe their long awaited second album For Ever as "a post-apocalyptic radio station playing break up songs." If Jungle's first effort was their imaginary soundtrack to the places they had never been, their new record captures the landscapes they had so often dreamed of. To write and record the record, Josh and Tom swapped Shepherds Bush for the Hollywood Hills. Their romanticization of The California Dream clashed with the reality of living it – although the experience led them back home to London to finish the album, the journey itself ultimately defining the music it produced. Includes the singles "Happy Man" and "House In LA."
