Albertine Sarges

In the organizer's words:

Following their acclaimed record release concert in Berlin in February 2025, Albertine Sarges will be touring Germany in November 2025 - with almost the original line-up from the early days when the band still performed under the name Albertine Sarges & The Sticky Fingers. On board is bassist Rosa Mercedes, who has returned to the port of Berlin after four years in Australia, improvisation artist Lisa Baeyens on flute and Sarges' co-producer Lo Selbo on percussion/electronica.

The set is also enriched by several new compositions - because something new is already on the horizon... Albertine Sarges' debut album The Sticky Fingers (2021) on the London label Moshi Moshi was a surprise success. It was Album of the Day and Album of the Week on BBC6 and Radio X, and her songs were on rotation. This didn't go unnoticed in Germany either: VUT Awards and Deutschlandfunk Kultur nominated her as Newcomer of the Year 2021. 2023 saw the release of Family of Things (EP).

Their second LP Girl Missing was released on February 21, 2025 (Moshi Moshi Records). The cover of Girl Missing is adorned with a mural from the oldest St. Mary's Church in Rome. A pair of silent eyes stare ghostly out of an otherworldly nothingness. Work on the album began with a disappearance. A close friend of Albertine Sarges broke off all contact without comment. Memorabilia and open threads were left behind. The Berlin native withdrew and began to piece together a mosaic of songs. The result was a picture of a monumental longing
