"We head north of the border to Vancouver for a look and listen to Little Jungles. Not a lot of info out there, but Little Jungles’ Bandcamp LP Wuts Goin Thru Yer Head is a solid foray into the different elements that made 2010 such a great year in music, giving us hope an excitement for what’s 2011 is going to bring. Wuts Goin polishes up the shoegaze-y, chillwave (ugh) motifs so that while fuzzy synth work and drum machine blips are there, they don’t bury the vocals, which goes to show that they put just as much care in lyrics and vocal hooks. Conceptually, Wuts Goin Thru Yer Head deals with life’s universal relationship bummers, but offers a glimmer of optimism and retribution that overcomes the gloom and doom and inspires hope.
While you’ll hear bits of everything from Panda Bear to Grandaddy, Little Jungles’ debut shows a knack for versatility and relevance without compromising their own unique vision. “Blue Heron” pulses out of the gate with a Small Black-like intro that fades to the back when the vocals kick in, drenched in reverb to create a more anthemic sing-along vibe. And “Drive Yerself Crazy” mixes the hazy, bass-heavy synth with dancey keys atop a sputtering elcecto beat that ricochets from one ear to the other. They’re both earworms for sure, so have a listen and get hooked." (Crawdaddy Magazine)
