In 2020 Los Angeles-based musician Daniel Garcia, coming off a decade spent in such local groups as NOYES and Dei Lucrii, began work on recording the set of solo songs that would amount to form his debut Synthetic Jungle LP, released 2023.

Synthetic Jungle was recorded at home on a multi-track cassette recorder, with all vocal and instrumental performances executed by Daniel himself, with the exception of several guest drum spots. The album incorporates elements such as driving bass grooves, droning synthesizers, and an influence from classic Motown and Wrecking Crew records, all while maintaining an energetic rock n’ roll ethos from its first seconds to its last.
