Girls in Airports has been described as ‘a unique blend of Nordic jazz lyricism, indie-rock influences and sounds from around the world’. The Danish band is famous for their captivating soundscapes crossing musical genres and geographical borders. Combining jazz, indie and urban folk into a unique expression of heart stirring, melody-laden elegiac hooks and dance-friendly, globally-influenced rhythms. Featuring four distinctive and creative musicians from the Danish music scene, Girls in Airports is one of the most vital experimental ensembles in Europe. With a coherent and unique sound, their music is both absorbing and powerfully emotive. The band’s charismatic live performances have quickly made them one of the most talked about new bands on the international scene. Their music has been released on labels Edition Records, Mawi Music and Kaja Records. The last album, How Is It Now (Kaja Records, 2023), cultivates the collective values – in and outside of music. How It Is Now is a snapshot of a band that has a deep belief in the community and the strength of the collective. Here, instruments, moods and forms of expression merge and create a whole that is stronger than the individual. It is the sound of a free group that can move in any direction.The band has toured in countries such as the US, China, Brazil, and most of Europe.
