Press Reviews

"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.."

"I interviewed Jungol at the Earl just prior to their performance the night of their CD release show for Over The Sun, And Under The Radar. By the time the second band was mid-set, the place was brimming with people from wall to wall, all eager to hear the talented trio’s new material. After reviewing their last album, Places, I already knew that between the hypnotizing vocals and skillful melodies their new album would be a smash among the crowd."

"Jungol's movement continues to gain momentum and they have done nothing but accelerate that momentum with Over the Sun and Under the Radar. 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.."

"Brothers Josh and Graham Yoder share the stage in equally incredible distinction, switching off on instruments, never allowing one to take more of the spotlight over the other. From what I read in other reviews and interviews, they give a great amount of value to the writing process, and it shows. Jason on drums adds the perfect amount of backbone to his intensely creative band mates and together, the three of them manage to pump out music that has only a few can create. Their creative process and ability shines through with exceptional brilliance and the music they make both inspires and provokes."

"After hearing their name tossed around a bit I sought out their stuff on the internet to take a listen and was thoroughly pleased. The sounds spiraling through the air out of my mac were mind-blowing and sharp; they were dense and meaningful. They play that legend inspiring sort of music in the tradition of Radiohead and the awe inspiring sense of greatness from Sigur Ros. "

"Despite little media recognition, prog rock is alive and well. Young, talented bands such as Atlanta's Liquid Jungle (now called Jungol) are as influenced by King Crimson's jagged attack as U2's grander arena-rock tendencies and, most importantly, have the chops to pull off that dynamic mix.

Add some funk along with a sack of twisty riffs and quirky time changes for a head-spinning set that gets more intense as the evening unfolds.."

"If you’re looking for the next band to make an impression on the Atlanta music scene, look no further.

The Jungol’s concoction of futuristic accents meshed with their indie rock backbone creates a sound of today with a hint of tomorrow."

"Jungol’s educated restlessness and Places’ shifting ground do not nauseate the listener because no member seems interested in competing with his bandmates to showcase his individual talent on the album.

Places is a solid whole that deserves attention and encouragement, not calls for restraint, because it knows exactly where it is and what it is doing. "

"With the recent unveiling of their self-produced EP Places, Jungol's music is gaining some serious headway in Atlanta complete with screaming fans, blushing girls and tours up and down the East Coast."

"Jungol have evolved into an excellent band that writes beautiful, concise pop songs infused with a heart of prog, as showcased on their newest record, Places.

I think my favorite thing about this album is how so much intricacy and subtly is veiled behind the pleasantly appealing melodies in the forefront. Make sure to pick up a copy, because it still hasn’t stopped growing on me."

" The style can be compared to a more monochromatic Mars Volta with some hints of U2. The sound is hard-edged with loud instrumentals and softer pop vocals. The sound is characteristic of much of the indie and progressive rock popular today, appealing to urban hipster types with a penchant for vocal effects. Jungol has ...something of a radio friendly vibe, but in keeping with their artistic integrity."
