Jungle — Tiny Desk (NPR), Washington D.C., 2026
For this NPR Tiny Desk session filmed in Washington on 2 November 2026, the British collective Jungle turns the intimate format into a continuous medley where tracks run into one another without a break. Led by the trio of Tom McFarland, Josh Lloyd-Watson and Lydia Kitto, the band draws on a decade of songs that reinvent vintage soul and R&B into something murkier and more danceable. The set moves from “Someday, Somewhere” to “Back on 74,” by way of “Beat 54 (All Good Now),” “Dominoes,” “The Wave” and “Casio,” peaking on the six-part harmonies of “Keep Me Satisfied.” Backed by a full band — keys, bass, drums, percussion and backing vocals — the musicians deliver a groovy, sunlit live true to Jungle’s live reputation. An ideal live filmed concert for discovering modern British funk, this Jungle Tiny Desk in 2026 distills the spirit of a project that makes the dancefloor a space for emotion. A short but dense full set.
