I Want Poetry

German indietronica duo I WANT POETRY create music that feels cinematic and deeply human, blending emotional depth with luminous pop energy. Known for their immersive live shows and striking visuals, the duo has earned critical acclaim, award recognition, and a nomination at the European Songwriting Awards. At more than half a million streams, their song Light has hit iTunes charts in multiple countries and was recently selected for the soundtrack of the Canadian movie La mécanique des frontières. With over 100 shows across Germany, Poland, Sweden and beyond – including slots at top European showcase festivals and a recent invitation to play at New York's New Colossus Festival 2026, I WANT POETRY become one of the most intriguing voices in Europe’s indie pop scene. Their upcoming album Future Selves is hopeful and transformative, inspired by a time when the future still felt like a promise. It channels the spirit of past utopias and dreams of progress, offering a forward-looking vision shaped by memory, imagination, and the will to create what comes next. Musically, Future Selves marks an evolution from the reflective tones of their previous record Solace + Light, layering glowing synths, bold instrumentals, and soaring pop-hooks into a vibrant new sound. Future Selves will be released June 12, 2026. Tickets for the release show in Dresden on May 29 are available now.
