Albertine Sarges' new single 'Oh My Love' taken from her debut album The Sticky Fingers out now via Moshi Moshi Records: https://moshimoshi.plctrmm.to/tsf
Tender and fragile, just like the moment after a painfully ‘right’ decision, Oh My Love was written for rainy afternoons and broken hearts, for long drives and lonely nights. It's a song that longs to be brought home but instead lingers on in an unresolved harmony. It hurts so good.
Albertine’s previous single The Girls - playlisted on 6Music - was a lyrically suggestive exposition of the early days of a budding relationship, Oh My Love is the follow up, telling a tale of heartache as the rubber hits the road.
Amongst unforeseen circumstances of 2020, Albertine Sarges became a passionate bird watcher, and in her video for ‘Oh My Love’ she uses migrating cranes as a symbol for longing, love and loss. Albertine takes a twilight walk around Berlin’s notorious Kottbusser Tor, taking in the sights and sounds of work and play, collecting moody impressions of houses with cranes flying over them. Albertine is fond of the neighbourhood she’s frequented from childhood, “Kotti is where I grew up and I dearly love it: it's a symbol of the liveliness, the diversity and the misery of my neighborhood. It's where I meet my siblings for a quick Turkish lentil soup or to celebrate when school friends return home for festivities. It is also a place where I have fallen in and out of love. Kotti lets me live, and it gives space to many others. You can literally cut gelatinous cubes of memory out of every späti, tea place and traffic light there and put them in a box. When you show them to me, I will sob.”
