Video: Jungle Performs 'Back On 74' on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers'

British songwriting and production duo Jungle performed their hit song “Back On 74” on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” last night. The track, which is currently Top 50 in the U.K. and continues to rack up millions of streams, is taken from Jungle’s new album Volcano, out now to critical acclaim via Caiola Records / AWAL—get it here

Volcano, which NPR celebrates as “unstoppable” and a “timeless classic,” also features singles “Candle Flame” with rapper Erick the Architect, “Dominoes,” “I’ve Been In Love” with Channel Tres and “You Ain’t No Celebrity” with Roots Manuva.

The free-spirited energy that runs right through Volcano reflects how organically it came together. This time around the duo wanted to include a wider variety of voices within the album, leading to collaborations with Erick the Architect, Bas, Roots Manuva, Channel Tres, JNR Williams and more.

Jungle is in the midst of an extensive world tour in support of Volcano, following a headline slot at London’s All Points East Festival. Slated to perform for more than 190,000 people, the duo’s lauded full-band live shows have graced some of their biggest venues to date, including Los Angeles’ The Kia Forum, San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, New York’s Forest Hills Stadium, D.C.’s The Anthem, Philadelphia’s Franklin Music Hall, Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom and more—see below for the full tour routing.

Jungle was founded by J&T, who met at the age of 10 in West London’s Shepherd’s Bush. They began making music together at the beginning of 2013, choosing to put the aesthetic emphasis on the music’s surrounding artwork/videos rather than on their own identities.

Jungle’s acclaimed 2014 self-titled debut album was a Mercury Prize nominee and is now Gold-certified while their lauded 2018 follow-up, For Ever, reached #10 on the UK Albums Chart. In addition, their 2021 album, Loving In Stereo, achieved their highest domestic chart position to date, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Current Electronic Albums chart while also peaking at #3 on Independent Albums, #4 on Current Rock Albums and #6 on Current Alternative Albums charts. 

Their three records have since amassed over a million equivalent album sales and a billion streams worldwide. They’ve performed on five continents, headlining venues both stateside and abroad while performing at major music festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Last year, the duo embarked on a select run of European dates supporting Billie Eilish on her “Happier Than Ever” tour.
