The Jungle Giants’ fifth album, turning a breakup into bright, rhythm-driven pop
Dancefloor arrangements, strings, brass, and a quieter piano-led ending; opaque-blue vinyl
For fans of: Cut Copy, Miami Horror, Hot Chip, Australian indie-dance
Sam Hales writes through the end of a long relationship on Experiencing Feelings of Joy, but the music keeps reaching outward. “Tell Me How It Feels” opens with a tribute to his mother, and “All the Time in the World” adds strings and brass to the possibility of starting again. The dance-pop arrangements give the songs momentum without erasing their uncertainty. By the time “World’s Getting Smaller” closes the record with spare piano, the quieter emotion beneath those brighter surfaces has come fully into view.
“Experiencing Feelings Of Joy ain’t no bitter breakup record.”
— Bryget Chrisfield, Beat Magazine
