Rum Jungle / Recency Bias (Blue Vinyl)
Description
Rum Jungles’ debut album, Recency Bias on Sky Blue 140gm vinyl including 1 of 3 exclusive posters and an 8 page zine.
Recency Bias was born out of the band's realisation that their newest creations always seemed to overshadow the older ones—a phenomenon every songwriter knows all too well - but this marks a pivotal moment that the whole band loved what they had done, even after years together and various EPs.
It’s an eclectic fusion of diverse influences, experiences, and sounds that the band has collected over time, with some songs sitting in their minds for years with others coming just hours before hitting the studio. Rum Jungle set out to push their boundaries with Recency Bias, and the album reflects their desire to showcase their range - from mid-2000s indie guitars, slow ballads, punk energy, hyper-pop production, and even some 60s-inspired elements.
Recorded with Simon at Lakehouse Audio on the Central Coast of Australia, the album was born from weeks of experimentation and refinement, where they spent weekends on tour, but spent their weekdays there. The laid-back vibe at Simon’s studio, nestled in the peaceful surroundings of his home also made an impact, with his family around, chickens, and even a cat named Pinky as a welcome home from being on the road.
At its core, Recency Bias is an album that captures the essence of four musicians, each with their own influences, coming together to create something they are truly proud of. As Benny puts it, “What’s special to us is that we’ve come out the other end with something we each love and are extremely proud of.”
