Single: kitsches – whatever i say sounds like poetry


“whatever i say sounds like poetry” is kitches’ first release since their sophomore album came out in 2023. Even though it’s only been a year, the band has matured their sound even more, diving into indie rock territory inspired by heavyweights like Modest Mouse, all the while maintaining their signature weightlessness. Sparkling guitars underline singer Mathea’s lyrics about feeling lost in the rear end of your 20s.

The talented duo, composed of vocalist Mathea and percussionist Moritz, crossed paths while studying music in a quaint town in Germany. Ever since they first teamed up, they’ve been busy writing and recording their enchanting songs in a cozy little home studio. Their latest single marks a return to the forefront of the dreamy indie pop scene, and it beautifully showcases their evolution as artists.

This new track draws inspiration from the ethereal qualities of shoegaze, and I can’t get enough of the warm, fuzzy sound that the guitars create. The lush layers of instrumentals resonate deeply, instantly evoking a sense of nostalgia. Listening to it transports me back to the music of my favorite UK artist, Harper, creating an endearing connection to that sound.

I’ve had this latest dreamy piece on repeat, and each listen reveals new nuances that I absolutely adore. The melody is exquisitely crafted, providing a fresh direction for the duo that feels both exciting and refreshing. I genuinely can’t wait to see what they will create next, as their artistic journey continues to unfold.
