All tracks  are recorded in a spontaneous manner typically in a single take. Most lyrics are also spontaneous improvisations derived from the feelings of the moment. We let the guitar and drums interact and the music just happens. Most if not all of the music is inspired from this interaction.

The recording equipment up until January 2019 consisted of a dated Fostex 8 track and a few microphones...We simply lay down a guitar and drum track and let it unfold the way you are hearing it by bouncing tracks. We just have to make music to live. Music of any kind, music that speaks for itself... 

In January 2019 recording equipment was upgraded to Logic X and a UA Apollo MKll Quad Core Recording interface...We entered a new building and still trying to find the light switch so bare with us as we keep lighting matches...

THE SOUND

Jungal are three powerful young women who create their own brand of Australian-flavoured indie rootsrock music. Their energetic live performance and powerful 60s-like rock feel comes to life through three harmonious voices creating the unique and powerful ‘Jungal sound’, setting these girls apart from other female acts of their kind. Their musical flair is flaunted as each song is varied in sound and style, but all are underlain with the organic roots of Jungal– powerful, unique and female.

[The girls of Jungal] work so well together; their voices and harmonies…It’s one of those things that’s just meant to be.” (Hannah of Little Fish, JOY FM)

THE SISTER CONNECTION

The underlying tie that binds Leisha Jungalwalla (guitars), Jessie Jungalwalla (drums), and Victoria Beard (bass) together is the unbreakable sister connection, which can be seen through the more than occasional cheeky grin during a performance, and felt throughout their music. When a band is clearly having a goodtime together, the audience feels it too. Sisters Leisha and Jessie began playing music together in their teens and quickly added adopted sister Victoria Beard’s sounds into the mix in 2007.

"Three girls. Three genres. A really large amount of
awesomeness." (Paige X Cho, Beat Magazine, Valleyarm)

THE ADVENTURES

Early 2010 saw the sell out launch of Jungal’s debut studio album, ‘This Crooked Track’, produced by Robyn Mai (John Butler Trio, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds) at Woodstock Studios, followed by successful tours across Canada and East Coast Australia. Their politically- charged single ‘Say It’ received ample radio play on Triple J, Triple RRR, and PBS, among others. National media attention was also received byInpress (This Crooked Track named album of the year in Inpress writers poll) , Scene Magazine and a front cover spot on Southern Star. Since then, Jungal have toured Australia extensively with local and international artists, released a live recording (Live at NSC) and have returned to Canada four times for a string of festival headliner spots.

Their latest release ‘Leave My Head’, recorded at The Aviary in Melbourne, with Fraser Montgomery stepping up as co-producer, explores a darker side of Jungal and exposes their exploration heavier sounds, and rock and roll story telling.

The thing I love about improvs is that they are unrehearsed 

Real time

And raw

You can hear the little mistakes and off key notes as a singer tries to find the next note for the melody in time, sometimes

You can hear emotion and tempo changes 

Laughs 

Little things like rings hitting the keys from your fingers

The birds chirping outside 

The imperfections and wild emotions that make us human and define us and teach us and make us bond and grow

The vulnerable parts
The parts we are afraid others will reject or we will reject in ourselves

That's the good stuff right there

Not computer mediated and calculated perfection
