British electro-funk duo Jungle have released a new single, Keep Moving. The track is accompanied by the news that the group have a new album coming out. Loving In Stereo, the band’s LP, will be released on 13th August 2021. Keep Moving has also been announced as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1.
Jungle posted on Instagram: “Really excited to finally share this with you… Watch ‘Keep Moving’ and pre-order your copy of our new album ‘Loving In Stereo’ now! Link in bio. Massive amounts of love to everyone who helped out making this a reality. Such an incredible cast and crew! We couldn’t do it without you! We hope you enjoy it!”
The single was accompanied by a music video directed by Charlie Di Placido, who has also directed videos for The Vaccines and Dodie, and Josh Llyod-Watson, who is one half of Jungle. The video was filmed in one shot, and the simplicity allows the track to take centre stage. It is filled with impressive dancers – choreographed by Nathaniel Williams & Cece Nama – and bold outfits.
Jungle is formed of Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland. They released their debut single The Heat in 2013, and were nominated for the BBC Sound of 2014. Their self-titled debut album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2014. Their second album, For Ever, came out in 2018.
Speaking to NME on their new album, McFarland said: “We went into The Church studio in London, which for us is a big move because it’s us opening ourselves up. The pressure’s on because you’ve only got a week, and you’ve got string sections coming in, you’ve got all these parts. It’s all kind of chaotic and magical, and I think that that’s why there’s that energy to the record – everything just went up a level.”
