Volcano follows Jungle's previous album Loving In Stereo, which proved to be a landmark moment for the acclaimed UK duo. It achieved their highest domestic UK chart position to date debuting at No. 3, while also achieving their best ever album chart positions in key international territories such as Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Netherlands; plus in the US it catapulted to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Albums chart which led to major arena shows as guests to Billie Eilish. The free-spirited energy that runs right through Volcano reflects how organically it came together. J and T had written most of the record on tour before starting the recording process while staying in an Airbnb in Los Angeles. It was later completed back home in London at their favorite location, Studio B at Metropolis Studios. This time around, the duo wanted to include a wider variety of voices within the album. In addition to Erick The Architect, they reunited with Bas (who previously featured on the "Loving In Stereo" single "Romeo") for "Pretty Little Thing," as well as calling on the talents of Roots Manuva, Channel Tres and JNR Williams.
