indie-only colored vinyl version - On the Bradford-born producer’s self-assured second album, drum’n’bass rhythms power up angsty odes with shades of Arctic Monkeys, Kate Nash and myriad genres. Much has been made of Archives being a rarity in a male-dominated subculture – and she herself has claimed to be “feminising” jungle by infusing it with an emotional sensibility. But it would be reductive to think of Emotional Junglist as purely “jungle for the girls”. Instead, it’s an ambitiously expansive and quintessentially gen Z project that puts jungle in conversation with a myriad of other genres, weaving a narrative through them all. The fact she – for the most part – pulls it off so cohesively makes Archives something more like a curator, a storyteller, and, dare you say it, a pop star.
