Jungle Releases First Album as Trio with 'Sunshine'

publication · 2026-08-07

British band Jungle has officially transitioned from a duo to a trio with the release of their new album 'Sunshine'. The album marks the first project featuring Lydia Kitto as a full member, after she had been a contributing vocalist for years, notably on the hit 'Back on 74'. The album stays true to their retro-soul sound, with tracks like 'Come back to me', 'Where are you now', 'Move like you do', 'The Wave', 'Carry on', and 'Romeo II', a sequel to their previous song 'Romeo' featuring rapper Bas. The band, consisting of Tom McFarland and Josh Lloyd-Watson, has never aimed to innovate but rather to perfect a vibe, and 'Sunshine' continues that approach. The album's artwork, which varies only in earth tones, reinforces the band's focus on mood over novelty. The release is available now, and the band has also offered a free subscription option for fans.
