Jungol is the musical vehicle of brothers Josh and Graham Yoder, child hood friend Andres Miller and newest member Mark Garretson. The music they create hangs in the territory of electronic experimental rock, being sometimes moody and ethereal and sometimes loud and complex.

“Much of the respect for Jungol by the Atlanta music community comes from the sheer originality of their songwriting, as well as their impressive technically skilled experimental style.” Performer Magazine

Twin brothers, and founding members Josh and Graham have inhabited Atlanta’s music scene with various ensembles since 2000, independently releasing 2 full-length albums and 2 EP’s. These releases along with their live show have gained the group positive critical attention as well as a loyal fanbase which has led to consistently sold-out concerts in their hometown of Atlanta. The live show is energetic and danceable, full of synths, live looping, and powerful vocal melodies, all on a path of restless rhythmical changes. Jungol has opened for some acclaimed acts such as Echo and the Bunnymen, Gogol Bordello and Free Moral Agents. They have also opened for Polica, Baths, Hundred Waters, Braids, Astronautalis and Shlomo under Graham’s solo moniker Dark Room.

After touring relentlessly for years Jungol took a break to focus their efforts on a film project called GO SOFTLY and a brand new repertoire of material. The film is casually being released as many vignettes, one every month, and will lead up to the release of the forthcoming Jungol album. The guys are soon to be back out on the road touring full time and in most cases as a duo consisting of only Graham and Josh.

” There are bands that find their niche in the local music scene, and then there are bands that create one of their own.  Jungol is an example of the latter, having forged their own path in Atlanta and beyond.”
-Performer Magazine (Featured Band)

 

“The album stays true to Jungol’s indefinable experimental path…thriving tribal beats, soaring guitar riffs, electro pop power and skyrocketing and passionate vocals that will no doubt carry Jungol and Over the Sun and Under the Radar to the glory that they both undoubtedly deserve. ”
-Beatlanta (on OTSAUTR)

 

“This is pop, catchy and hook-heavy, masquerading as artful, angular prog, and it’s simply brilliant. Few Atlanta records this year sounded this polished… or thrilling.”

“They have found a way to distill all of their knowledge, built upon years and years of sonic experimentation, into sharply focused pop with an uncompromising quantity of artistic depth.
