Albertine Sarges on birdwatching, her ideal live show and how to give up smoking

Ahead of her show at Schall&Rausch, we catch up with Berlin’s most treasured feminist pop icon Albertine Sarges about pandemic inspiration and finding her band.

After the success of her infectious post-punk pop 2021 debut LP The Sticky Fingers, Berlin’s indie darling Albertine Sarges spread her net, performing with Holly Herndon and Kat Frankie ’s bands and dabbling in other creative outlets.

Her second album, which Sarges calls “a coping record”, was 2022’s Family of Things: an introspective, post-Covid reflection on addiction and relationships. In February, Sarges gets a chance to showcase her development as she swaps the touring circuit for the stage, performing both at this year’s Schall&Rausch Festival in collaboration with Komische Oper and at a related solo event at SchwuZ. 

A new album and many live shows; last year was a busy one for you. Do you ever take a break?

That was how I felt during my younger years. A loner, lost in contemplation and fantasy

I remember going into 2022 like, okay, this is going to be when we finally break the spell and have a good year again. We had a new government in Germany, and I was looking forward to positive climate action.

In general people seemed to wake up everywhere. Then Putin invaded Ukraine in February and we were collectively thrown into a nightmare of idiotic violence and hate. I started smoking again on that day. With this doom feeling, I went out and played a lot of shows. Being from a DIY background, this was the first time that I started to think about the business aspect of things.

To me, being an artist and an entrepreneur at the same time is an unsolvable quandary. But I kept going, and then I experienced the post-pandemic touring crisis, including steeply sloping ticket sales, high gas prices and inflation, and in the end, it drained me. We released Family of Things with a heartwarming record release gig at Schokoladen with all my friends.

Another big joy was being able to take part in Christiane Rösinger ’s satirical musicals at HAU. Also, performing in Singapore with Holly Herndon was insane. We toured the UK twice, so I can’t complain. It’s like the bitter and the sweet at the same time; this is the definition of life.

We were thrown into a nightmare of idiotic violence and hate. I started smoking again

What changed between your last record and this one, and what happened to your backing band The Sticky Fingers?

I have never officially mentioned this before. My bassist and bestie Rosa Mercedes [from Kino Motel and Alright Gandhi] moved to Australia just before we put out our debut. Rosa was a congenial songwriter and full-time musician who I could arrange and compose music with, but she had other plans and I had to move on without her. A few months after she left, the pandemic hit, and meeting people, even if only for photo sessions, was a problem.

At that point, I wasn’t sure what my band was. I remember a meme that was circulating, showing a therapist talking to a sick man in a white coat in an empty clinic room. The therapist asks: “And so, is this band of yours in the room with us right now?” I remember almost peeing my pants laughing, and then seamlessly transitioning into a big weep. The same day I did one of those remote interviews with a radio station and all my talking about community felt like a hoax. But it wasn’t. Because if it wasn’t for my community in 2018, that album wouldn’t exist.

In 2020, I found new management, a label and agents. Albertine Sarges & The Sticky Fingers silently turned into just Albertine Sarges, but I still called my album The Sticky Fingers, as a loving testimony. Later, in 2021, the band idea crumbled further. Some of those in our band needed higher fees than I could pay, and some had day jobs, which made them less flexible. I got a substitute drummer and flute player, and I asked Lo Selbo [Sebastian Eppner] to play guitar with us. He’s my partner and now at my side in this project, working on our technical set-ups and tour management.

These are the things no one ever talks about because fans want to hear that we’re having fun and then partake in that fun. In reality, the fun part always gets cut short and is never prioritised. This is something I want to change in the new year.

What are some of the running themes on the new record?

Well, I guess it is a solitary record. The name Family of Things comes from Mary Oliver’s fantastic poem ‘Wild Geese’, which is about finding solace in nature. I became an ardent bird watcher during the isolation phases of the pandemic. Berlin is a great spot for birds… anyway, the poem ends with: “Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things.”

That was how I felt during my childhood and younger years. A loner, lost in contemplation and fantasy, finding connection through beautiful things. I fell back on those feelings during the pandemic. So, you could say that Family of Things is the dark moon to The Sticky Fingers, and I am really happy to have it out, and to have them standing next to each other like that.

What can we expect from your show at the Schall&Rausch festival, and what are you looking forward to the most?

Komische Oper and Musicboard Berlin commissioned me to create a gig theatre night. It’s more music than theatre, but more theatre than would be appropriate for a normal concert. I can’t wait to do it. I have always been very prone to experimenting with things that go beyond only music. But I can’t tell you what it is just yet. It will be darn pretty, with a big cast of the musicians I work with, and it will be very fun and very groovy.

I am convinced that it is and should be possible to entertain and reach the purest emotions

How did this cooperation with the Komische Oper come around?

The Komische Oper is going to be renovated in 2023 and will need to close. They came up with some makeshift creative formats to fill the gap and teamed up with Musicboard Berlin, who in turn put forward my name for some ideas.

I can imagine the team from Komische Oper watched my video for ‘Free Today’, in which I wear a baroque hair piece and dress. That being said, my show will probably not be operatic at all, although it is taking place at the legendary SchwuZ, which I am hellishly excited about.

If money and resources weren’t an object, what would your ideal live show look like?

If I had no resource limits, I would first bring my band out of the city into a beautiful place where their hearts and bodies can expand, and we would cook and connect and make music with no boundaries. And then we would invite people to help us with a great stage design, with different islands to perform at. We would have people to care for the lights and the clothes and styling – I never have enough mind space for how I look at shows.

We’d have a sound technician and a real piano, and I would focus on singing and storytelling only, walking up to the audience, with mic in hand. But most importantly, I’d like to be able to pay my musicians and myself for it in a decent way. Apart from that, I am convinced that it is and should be possible to entertain and reach the purest emotions even with very limited capacities, as long as you are able to connect to the room.

The new single ‘Hold On’ is about giving up smoking. Do you have any tips on how to do it?

Here’s what I would pass on as a quitting senior: acknowledge your addiction and understand that quitting will be one of the bravest things you’ve ever done. Have compassion, accumulate willpower, and then free yourself through celebration. Use nicotine patches, read – or listen to – Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking, pat yourself on your shoulder whenever you can, and don’t fucking worry about your weight. Tell your friends and fans, use apps, and if you made it through the first months, remember that this is a thing that will come back at the first moment of crisis. Prepare for that moment and foresee it. Keep this plan in your wallet and good luck!

• Albertine Sarges is performing at Schall&Rausch on 18.02.23 at SchwuZ , Rollbergstraße 26, Neukölln.

Albertine Sarges was born in Berlin and raised in Kreuzberg. The multi-talented and outspoken singer-songwriter splits her time working with leading local artists and writing and performing her playful yet purposeful solo musical creations.

After releasing her 2021 debut album, The Sticky Fingers, on Moshi Moshi Records, Sarges has gone on to tour extensively. Her follow-up EP Family of Things came out late last year.

Albertine’s playlist

Shuggie otis – island letter.

“ His positivity is a gift to this world – especially when feeling sick or suffering from long Berlin winters “.

Fazerdaze – Thick of the Honey

“A new discovery. I’m into the basslines and attitude! “

Yosa Peit – Serious People Chuckle

“ The whole record doesn’t stop blowing my mind. The irony and fun in these Florida-esque dolphin tracks is so entertaining! “

Richie Setford – A Little Heart

“ A big storyteller with all the warmth needed on dull days”.

John Moods – Out Of My Mind

“I feel connected to Johnny’s music every time it’s flowy and watery like this track. The track really takes its time”.

• Albertine Sarges

Albertine Sarges is an artist whose music combines references to the 70s and 80s with feminist lyrics. Her sound updates the style of bands such as The B-52's, They Might Be Giants and Talking Heads, and is characterised by theatricality, humour and her own brash attitude as a performer. She navigates between experimental pop, post-punk elements and dreamy to dark guitars.

Albertine Sarges has had a varied career as a musician, performing live in bands such as Kat Frankie and Holly Herndon, and as one half of the electro-pop duo Itaca under the pseudonym Ossi Viola. In 2017, she formed the band The Sticky Fingers, whose name is not influenced by the legendary Rolling Stones album, despite the similarities.

In her song The Girls , Sarges identifies herself as a hippie: "I like them deep/Cause deep down I'm still a hippie". Following her acclaimed debut album, she released the EP Family of Things in the winter of 2022. The EP features the single Hold On , which deals with the subject of quitting smoking and sticking to it. The accompanying video is a remarkable (and hilarious) depiction of Albertine embodying the marketing myth of the Marlboro Man, as he battles his addiction trapped inside a giant pack of cigarettes.

Berlin-Based Post-Punk Artist Albertine Sarges Debuts “The Girls”

• November 18, 2020
• Alice Teeple

Germany’s Albertine Sarges is forging a new path. After numerous collaborative projects, including Italian synthwave duo Itaca,  Sarges  debuts her  The Sticky Fingers  LP. Out 21 January,  The Sticky Fingers is an album that fights for your attention, with thematic twists, turns and emotional roller coasters.

Although Sarges is careful to not take herself too seriously, her music serves as a platform to explore the self and contribute to broader societal discourse. Sarges walks the walk of using pop music for social discourse: the track  Free Today opens with a quote from feminist theorist Sara Ahmed on the relevance of theory itself.

“I chose to start the album with a theory book because I think it is more important than ever to read,” she says. “We need to dive deep beyond social media, which is not designed for an in-depth study. We need to fight for our attention span and treat ourselves with real input.”

The second single featured from the album is  The Girls , a “free-flowing celebration of friendship,” led by a bubbly bass lick. Evoking The Slits and Tina Weymouth, the track weaves an upbeat tale of a friendship…with a side of carnal connection. The Girls  encourages everybody to shine in their own ways and give in to the sensuality of their bodies.

The accompanying video has the minimalist feel of early 80s videos, a spa scene shot against a black background as her backing singers swan about in fluffy robes and face masks – a theme explored by the Go-Gos’s  Beauty and the Beat album cover. It’s a delightful mockery of the shallow beauty regime, and celebrates the classic girl group  seizing back power from the male gaze, revelling in the pleasures of sisterhood, and feeling comfortable in your own skin.

Sarges gives a poetic background: “My friend Harriet Rabe stood all night at the highest point of Helsinki and sent messages in Morse to the sea. She worked symbolic performances in the frame of art school. In that time we both got first in touch with queer feminist circles and started to explore new ways of being ourselves. We spent midsummer in Finland. The eagerness, the picnics, butterflies at night. The Girls is the soundtrack to those moments when you really trust someone. It is also an expression of curiosity. What if we sank in deeper – into the wide apricot sky.”

Albertine Sarges grew up in Kreuzberg during the fall of the Berlin Wall, and records in nearby Neukölln. From there she branched out her interests in feminist theory, musings on bisexuality, gender stereotypes, depression, and mental health. These topics fall under the ever-shifting veneer of her chameleonic pop motifs.

“There’s definitely a bipolarity, even within the songs themselves,” she says. “My music can be erratic but it’s just my nature! There’s a sense of freedom to it that seems to reach my audiences. It’s a place with no fear. A safe space which I’m incredibly proud to host.”

That safe space was hard-won after nearly 15 years. In her early 20s Sarges was carving a niche writing acoustic folk music, until her life flipped upside down when her father succumbed to a long illness. She fell into depression, compounded with several vocal string infections, which ruined her confidence at making music. It was only under her smiling Italian diva alter ego “Ossi Viola” that she began to find her creative voice again. Bit by bit Sarges opened herself up, playing keys for Kat Frankie, collaborating with Colin Self and joining Holly Herndon as part of the electronic musician’s vocal ensemble. Soon she was contributing regularly to Berlin zines and working with local musicians with a love she’d not felt in years.

It’s good to see Albertine Sarges in the limelight once more, and what a shining debut.

The Sticky Fingers is out on January 29th, 2021 on a limited edition coloured Ultra Blue 12″ Vinyl.

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.
