Jungle are a British band founded in 2013 by London-based producers Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland.
[2] Jungle were founded in 2013 by Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, who had been friends since they were nine years old and lived next door to each other in Shepherd's Bush, London.
[5] They went on to form Jungle at the beginning of 2013, choosing to put an aesthetic emphasis on the music's surrounding artwork and videos, and not on the pair's own identity.
Initially hiding their names and faces, Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland came to be known as J and T.[6][7] Over the course of the following year, Jungle evolved into a collective by working with different artists across diverse disciplines.
During September 2014, Jungle made appearances on Le Grand Journal (Canal+), at London's Roundhouse for the iTunes Festival, where they played with Pharrell Williams, and on Later... with Jools Holland.
Since the end of 2014, "Busy Earnin'" has been the title song of the German television series Mein bester Feind.
[citation needed] On 8 May 2018, Jungle released two new singles, "House in L.A." and "Happy Man," on a 7-inch record and on multiple digital music platforms.
[23] Their single "Happy Man" was featured in a commercial by phone network O2 in 2019, in the first season of Spanish Netflix series Elite, and as the opening theme to the Apple TV+ show WeCrashed.
[25] On 16 March 2021, Jungle premiered a trailer for "Loving in Stereo" featuring a vignette of the dancers regularly associated with the collective from previous videos, performing in some sort of abandoned compound or prison.
[28] On 27 March 2023, the band announced their fourth studio album, Volcano, would be released on 11 August 2023 via Caiola Records.
Choreography was overseen by Nat Zangi and Kane Klendjian (KZ Creatives), who also stars in "Happy Man."
