Jungle is the debut studio album by London-based modern musical collective Jungle. It was released on 14 July 2014 through XL Recordings. A nu-disco and disco funk album, Jungle combines musical influences from the 1970s, 1980s and 2010s into a sunny sound flavoured by soul and funk and the group's processed falsetto vocals, which were treated with modulation and Leslie speaker effects. Some songs also feature found sounds.

On release, the album received generally favourable reviews from music critics. Some highlighted the album's optimistic music, while others felt the record was too slick and unvaried to work as a sustained listening experience. Some reviewers noted a darker undercurrent to some songs, inspired by the duo's inner-city lives. In September 2014, the album was shortlisted for the 2014 Mercury Prize.[3]
