There is not much info out there on GIUNGLA, who tends to let her music do the talking, but her name reveals a glimpse of her world.
Giungla in Italian means ‘jungle’. In this sort of tangled-happy-place, minimal pop songs with an in your face attitude have come alive. Imagine them discovered this way, as if they were torn and shredded into a million pieces fighting a battle of mixed emotions inside herself.

Armed with just samplers, an electric guitar and her incredible voice, GIUNGLA is fast developing a reputation for her breathtaking and visceral live show and also played alongside The xx, Foals, Grimes and Battles.

After releasing her debut EP "Camo" with label Factory Flaws in 2016 and joining London label Some Kinda Love/Bad Life, she is spending the summer in the studio, wrapping up her second EP with producer Luke Smith (Depeche Mode, Foals, Anna Of The North).

PRESS QUOTES

• "Sounds like the love child of PJ Harvey and Grimes." Noisey USA (US)

• "Emanuela Drei, aka Giungla, made her new EP ‘Camo’ using just a guitar, a synth, a sampler, and a vintage Yamaha drum machine. The Giungla moniker – it means ‘Jungle’ in her mother tongue, Italian – places emphasis on the slightly chaotic vibrance of her music." NME (UK)

• "For those of us who want to know more of the music modern creatives are crafting in Italy, look no further than GIUNGLA." The 405 (UK)

• "Believe it or not, fuzz and guitars were once common in pop (see: Prince), and “Forest” is a nice reminder why." Idolator (US)

• "The sound is akin to what The xx would release had they been lived by the sea rather than inner city London — so in other words, it’s pretty damn lovely." The Wild And Honey Pie (US)

• "Giungla has arrived ready to break the mold that's been set by the indie scene over these past few years. She takes steps away from the expected synth sound and is showcasing that indie rock is truly timeless." Oblivious Pop (US)

• "The sound is very unique is a complementary way, though it’s not too far off from Grimes’ dark altoriented takes and Crystal Castles’ dark elegance." Obscure Sound (US)

• "Blends pop likeability with indie production not unlike something that could show up on an The xx album." Discobelle (SWE)
