With their circular tour, Girls in Airports 2027 return to their origins - and at the same time open a new chapter. In February 2027, their new eponymous EP will be released, the first release since 2023 to be created entirely from the band's own creative power.
What happens when you stop thinking about what jazz is supposed to be – and just look where the music is going? For almost two decades, Girls in Airports have been doing just that. The four musicians from Copenhagen move somewhere between indie, jazz, ambient and hypnotic grooves – with saxophones, vintage keys, drums and percussion, but without bass and guitar. Sometimes it sounds wide and floating, sometimes raw and driving, sometimes almost like a soundtrack. And live every time differently anyway. Girls in Airports have long since found an audience far beyond the jazz scene. They played at the Roskilde Festival, toured Europe and Asia and worked with Teitur, Halvcirkel and the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra. If you like Mammal Hands, Sigur Rós, GoGo Penguin or Bremer/McCoy, you should feel at home here pretty quickly. For their new album, Girls in Airports have reduced themselves to what the band has been from the beginning: four people in one room, facing each other, listening, reacting. Less finished arrangements, more instinct. Less control, more moment.
