Hailing from Łódź, Poland, Kisu Min have adopted their name from Esperanto. It translates into English as “kiss me.” They’re new to our blog thanks to their recent single and video, Je Suis.

Keeping it international, the title of the track is French of “I am.” It showcases what we can expect from their upcoming album, Rudolf Steiner House, set to be released on 29 September 2025.
Named after the building of the founder of the Waldorf pedagogy – a philosophy of holistic education including creative as well as practical skills – the album is a collection that promises a potent blend of the personal and political, taking on contemporary topics like war and the interference of artificial intelligence in people’s lives.
“We feel that Waldorf pedagogy, and the wisdom obtained from it in terms of educating future generations, is a guarantee for the preservation of our humanity in these extremely uncertain times,” say the band.
There’s a cantering brightness to Je Suis but also a melancholic undercurrent that makes it instantly interesting. A soulful opening chorus sets the tone before things launch off at a gallop for a punchy verse in which the vocals show plenty of attitude. The mix of classic and modern elements makes it a compelling listen, and unlike much else I’ve heard.
The track comes with an intimate performance video which adds to its magnetism.
I’m deeply impressed by what Kisu Min are doing and can’t wait to hear the album. Je Suis is out now and you can give it a listen below.
