Background and recording
The band wrote the album on the tour for their previous album, Loving in Stereo (2021), and began recording it in an Airbnb rental in Los Angeles before returning to Studio B of Metropolis Studios in London. Josh Lloyd called it "the most honest record made", also saying: "We've always had this soul side and this love for soul music, so it's always been a little bit more song-based. The new record is just an extension of that journey". Lloyd also stated that Jungle's music is "now getting to this place where it sounds freer, and more off the cuff than it's ever done" and the "energy" on Volcano is "very quick and explosive and not so tame".
