Description
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. Airports are a unique human habitat: places of wonder and excitement that offer the magical ability to be standing next to someone in the morning and on the other side of the world by the afternoon. They are, in JG Ballard's phrase, gateways to infinite possibilities. They also attract emotions, resonating with the joy of meeting, the sadness of parting, fear and exhilaration. In Fables Girls in Airports synthesize these emotional states in a concise and profoundly personal way.

Girls in Airports' story is as peculiar as their name and follows the skewed logic of the airport. Formed by a group of friends and fellow students from Copenhagen, initially gigs were local and on the small side – parties, small clubs. One early concert was in a record shop in the hip Nørrebro district where the band is based. The shop was tiny and soon packed out. It happened that two promoters were in town, a Chinese agent and one from Brazil. Both had heard about this new band and come down to check them out - unfortunately they couldn't get in but must have been impressed by what they saw and heard through the window as the band were offered tours in China and Brazil. Without any management or a record deal Girls in Airports had become an international touring sensation. South Korea, New York, Germany, Portugal, London and Belfast soon followed.
