Sydney rising stars Jinja Safari have received a lot of attention for a band yet to release their debut album. On the back of 2 EPs (2010’s Jinja Safari and 2011’s Mermaids & Other Sirens) and a killer live show, the indie quintet have thrice found themselves on the Splendour In The Grass bill, having been handpicked for the job the first time by triple j’s Unearthed in 2010. They’ve played Big Day Out, Falls and Southbound festivals and have sold out shows not only around Australia but in London and New York. They’ve hit Oz Fest in India alongside acts like Karnivool and Big Scary and landed themselves two nominations for Best Live Act at FBi’s SMAC Awards. So does their self-titled full-length debut live up to the hype? In a word – yes.
