Based in the Danish capital, the award-winning band has released three albums and toured in the USA, China, Brazil and across Europe since their formation in 2009.

Always exploring beyond the musical mainstream, in China they performed together with several generations of folk musicians and in Brazil they recorded music with the legendary percussionist Nereu Mocotó.

Fables is the highly anticipated 4th album from acclaimed Danish group ‘Girls in Airports’. Founded on stories that resonate in a deeply and emotional way with the listener, Fables is one of the most interesting musical encounters you will experience this year. The record is to be released on british record label Edition Records on September 18th.

“Like a wild forest, the music reflects life in all its colorful variety while still having a firm sense of unity. In spite of all the influences, this isn’t a postmodern patchwork of genres, but rather a timeless snapshot of natural beauty”. – Jakob Bækgaard, All About Jazz

“The band had a breathlessness and natural instinct that makes a refreshing change from the earnest approach of some bands… let’s hope they come back to play the jazz club circuit soon. “– Jazzwise UK
