After numerous collaborative projects, including the Italian synthwave band Itaca, Holly Herndon and Kat Frankie, Berlin born and raised artist Albertine Sarges brings together a new band for her debut LP The Sticky Fingers and signs to UK indie label Moshi Moshi Records. Her debut album, released in January 2021, approaches her take on feminist theory, musings on bisexuality, gender stereotypes and mental health. These topics fall under the ever-shifting veneer of Albertine’s chameleonic pop motifs: from Viv Albertine-inspired post-punk and kaleidoscopic dream-pop to quiet-loud guitar squall and Tune-Yards reminiscent vocal acrobatics. While Albertine Sarges maintains a sense of comedy in her approach, her music is also a platform to explore the self and contribute to broader societal discourse.

Alizée Leriche is a French songwriter who has worked under different pseudonyms on the Parisian scene from 2015 to 2020. Her new project moulds classic 70s influenced song-craft, and subverts it with alluring diversions that are totally her own. Whilst surreal and grandiose, there's a strange familiarity to the compositions. She builds aerial vocal layers almost orchestrally, with a theatrical idea of intimacy, taking influence from the natural world, human interaction and gothic nightmares. Her first LP, currently unreleased, was born in a sun-beaten Marseille, before being recorded in the UK in 2021. Alizée Leriche is a versatile artist who has produced, written, and composed for other names in France (notably Kid Francescoli with a track featured in a recent Chanel advert).
