T-Shirt/ShirtHigh quality organic unisex tee, fair trade. Silk-screen printed.
After a concert in Cologne in 2021, we were approached by the Transylvanian artist Ute Krafft, who moulded our hands. We were all touched by the sculpture that came out of it. The hands, which had been joined in music just minutes before, were now joined in a firm embrace. I have decided to print the photo of it on a t-shirt. As an expression of the togetherness that a musician's life can mean. Sophie Le Roux designed the graphic.
A few shirts are still available in Berlin, colors are lavender, vintage white and even an orange one is left. Check size and color options.ships out within 2 daysedition of 21Purchasable with gift card€20 EUR or more

about
On new EP Family Of Things, Albertine Sarges - the Berlin-based multi-hyphenate creative talent - plumbs new depths of unadorned and often self-confessional emotion. Don’t assume that these are necessarily gloomy or unpleasant responses, rather we are presented with realistic feelings and ideas that are rarely put into words and music.
Such is the emotional immediacy on show that Sarges seems to reach across the divide between musician and listener, either through a confessional lyric like “I wear clothes like a granny”, or the interaction with collaborators who play key roles on the album such as singer Anna B Savage, poet Amanda Monti, and flautist Lisa Baeyens. ‘Hold On’, though ostensibly about nicotine addiction, could be applied to any type of crutch - drugs, booze, sex, work, relationships, expensive pastries. Likewise, on ‘Birds Life’ she sings “I always do the same things wrong”. These oh-so-relatable concerns are why the EP seems to stretch its arms outwards, reaching for understanding. Perhaps the best example of this is the lyric “the best slurp is love”: neither we or Sarges may be able to give a 100% accurate description of what it means (she says “I don’t know if that is even proper English”), but we have a hazy understanding, a sense, a vibe of this charmingly messy little phrase. Such is Sarges’ talent that we’re taken along with the general thrust of this notion, and indeed the EP itself. To use a modern phrase, we feel seen.

I don't hear a lot of this kind of music, gives me ,loose Sonic Youth vibes. Everything about it is cool, like too cool for school cool. I want to skip class and spray paint an alley with these people.
