Girls in Airports — Leap

Girls in Airports x Aarhus Jazz Orchestra Leap Leap was quite an experience for us to create. For this album, we had the chance to record with the incredible Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, and it brought a whole new dimension to our music. The collaboration challenged us, enriched our sound, and pushed us in directions we hadn’t explored before. We revisited some of our earlier tracks, like Myanmar from our debut album, and reimagined them in a completely new light. The result feels more grounded and reflective, showing how we’ve grown as musicians over the years. At the same time, new compositions like Memory Wagon and Violet emerged as powerful pieces, blending our signature style with the orchestra’s bold and intricate arrangements. Throughout the album, the interplay between our band and AJO felt natural and inspired, as if the two worlds were always meant to meet. The suite-like flow, the hypnotic rhythms, and the many stunning solos from both groups make this project one we’re deeply proud of.
