THE JUNGLE GIANTS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM "EXPERIENCING FEELINGS OF JOY" OUT MAY 8TH, LIVE TOUR DATES
Hot on the heels of last week’s launch of the galvanising, sharp heel turn of new single 'Tell Me How It Feels' The Jungle Giants are now announcing a one-two punch – the title of their new album, to be released later this year, and an extensive tour through Australia that kicks off in June 5th.
The new album, Experiencing Feelings of Joy, is an apt title not only for the listener, but its creator. Careening from crushing personal loss to hopeful exuberance, it’s an album Sam Hales could only write after thinking he’d never be able to write one again.
“I'd overextended and kind of cooked it, but I really found myself,” he says. “That’s where the joy comes from, having this unwavering hope even after experiencing adversity. This record is what everything culminated in for me, because I'm so in love with it and I'm so addicted to music again.”
The Jungle Giants will be supported by The Tullamarines and Tear Drive. Full dates below.
