Beloved Brisbane indie-rock band The Jungle Giantsare back with their third albumQuiet Ferocity. It’s an apt name, with the album feeling more restrained than their previous releases, but also sounding more polished than ever.
On Your Way Down wouldn’t be out of place on a disco soundtrack, with synths taking centre stage – a sign of what’s to come. Waiting For a Sign is as funky as they’ve ever been, sounding like a single straight out of the ‘80s. Bad Dreams is sure to get you out of your seat, wherever you’re listening. You don’t get a choice as to whether you dance along – you’re compelled to.
Frontman Sam Hales opens up about wanting more attention from his lover on Blinded. His bandmates add to the song’s sense of fragility, with guitar gently driving it along. Speakerzoid feels like a stepping stone in parts, whereas Quiet Ferocity feels like an arrival. Having shifted their sound from their beginnings as an indie-pop band, The Jungle Giantshave once again made an album full of songs that you can’t help but dance to. A real treat to get you through winter.
