On March 23, 2023, Girls in Airports will release their eighth album titled “how it is now”. It is the band’s first release since going from being a quintet to Quartet in 2020. The smaller ensemble allows more space for all four instrumentalists and creates a stronger sense of togetherness, with the band members playing from an inner force.

The expression on the nye album is more imaginative, melodic and dynamically varied than hitherto. The album is a kind of documentation of where the band is right now, exploring a brighter sound with endless possibilities. The album is a testament to having the courage to be yourself and choose your own path. It revolves around themes such as having the courage to stand by oneself and giving oneself space and tranquility to exist.

Copenhagen group Girls in Airport is in fine form on Fables, its fourth release, and first on the Edition Records label. There are fewer big tunes than before although the band’s trademark melodic hooks and rhythmic drive, its understated lyricism and hypnotic grooves are all present in abundance. What’s been brought into sharper focus is the emotional currency in the writing and a narrative thread that seems to flow through these nine compositions. Significantly too, the percussive bite that Victor Dybbroe brought to Migration (Gateway Music, 2011) and Kaikoura (Gateway Music, 2013) contributes greatly to an intoxicating fusion of meditative lyricism and shamanistic funk.

On the album ‘Dive’, the five musicians dive into themselves and into the music. This time the melodies are not playing the leading part in the music but instead act as collective sequences that reflect the mind’s movements between light and darkness, life and death, optimism and discouragement.
