Their catalog includes the Mercury Prize-shortlisted self-titled debut Jungle (2014), For Ever (2018), and Loving in Stereo (2021). With vocalist Lydia Kitto, they achieved widespread global success with Volcano (2023)—featuring the viral hit Back on 74, which won them a Brit Award for Group of the Year—and followed up with Sunshine in 2026.
