Experiencing Feelings of Joy is the fifth studio album by the Australian indie pop band the Jungle Giants. The album was announced in March 2026 and released on 8 May 2026 through Amplifire Music.
Singles The album's lead single, "Tell Me How It Feels" was released on 20 February 2026. Upon release, writer Sam Hales said "'Tell Me How It Feels' brought me back to my first days with music, and naturally my single mother, who did everything she could to support me. She's a badass, and a punk when it comes to love, so it felt really special to bring her into this album, in the same way that she brought me into music."
"Is It Love?" was released on 20 March 2026 as the album's second single. Chris Salce from Acid Stag said "'Is It Love?' captures the journey we've all faced within a new relationship, those feelings of confusion and excitement, all set to a trademark uplifting soundscape that carries optimism and wonder throughout."
"A Moment Like That" was released on 17 April 2026. Hales said "It's me backing myself, being in myself again and feeling confident".
Tour Alongside the album's announcement, the band additionally revealed that they would be embarking on an Australian and New Zealand tour, commencing in June 2026.
