On tour from Berlin, we welcome Albertine Sarges.
Albertine Sarges' new album, Girl Missing, is the highly anticipated follow-up to her acclaimed 2021 debut, The Sticky Fingers. Set for release on February 21, 2025, via Moshi Moshi, the album explores sisterhood, resilience, and healing from grief while embracing warmth and hope for the future.
The project emerged from personal loss—after a close friend abruptly cut ties, Albertine turned to songwriting, assembling a musical mosaic of love and longing. “I was crafting a sonic biography of love,” she reflects, intertwining themes of female friendship throughout. The missing girl of the title is not just someone lost, but someone longing.
Eclectic yet deeply personal, Girl Missing blends indie rock, blues, art pop, and 1970s influences with Albertine’s agile vocals. Alongside longtime collaborator Lo Selbo, she shaped intricate soundscapes with airy flutes, layered choirs, and vintage organs to create warmth and vulnerability. The album took shape in two contrasting locations: the industrial landscape of Berlin-Marzahn, where Albertine explored the confessional depths of her songs, and the coastal town of Margate, where she refined them at the PRAH Foundation studio.
Balancing whimsy with melancholy, Girl Missing closes with a wry joke—"How do you call a fish with no i’s? A fsh."—yet remains a poignant meditation on loss and renewal. For her upcoming tour in fall 2025, Albertine will gather her full band, celebrating music as a reason to come together.
