Jungle

pitchfork

In the summer of 2013, an anonymous UK production duo only known by the initials of J and T released a 7" under the name of Jungle. They've since dilated to a seven-person live band, but their self-titled debut for XL retains the original duo's constricts, favoring the bantamweight soul reminiscent of early '80s British acts like Imagination, Fun Boy Three, I-Level, and Fine Young Cannibals.
