Although keeping themselves very active as a live performance band it is a couple of years since new music was recorded by the Costa Rican alt-rock outfit Magpie Jay.
Technically Jungle Jam, which surfaced a few hours ago having previously not been revealed, is not a new recording as this is a purely instrumental jam and is taken from a studio session also in 2016, the same time as the the LP Islita was released.
However, given recent stirrings of activity, it is with with fingers crossed that Magpie Jay may be able to steal themselves some time in the studio to create new music for those of us further afield than their touring schedule currently reaches.
