Poets to their Beloved were formed when Saskia and Marcel first met in 2003 on a Brendan Perry workshop. Both had travelled to Ireland following their musical hearts on their quest for new musical influences. It was there on the magical green Island that they discovered a musical connection, a strong sparkle, which they would later bring back with them to the Netherlands and Germany.
This sparkle could not be tamed by distance and Marcel rapidly wrote an instrumental song for Saskia called “Loveâ€. She returned the song to Marcel with full lyrics and vocals, thus making this song the catalyst for their union. They wrote more songs which travel along ancient times, lost loves, melancholic thoughts and old rituals.
In 2005 they had enough material to release a demo and they also played live together for the first time. Several concerts followed and in 2006 they decided it was time to search for a broader horizon so they uploaded a few songs on MySpace. This seemed to be a very good decision; the same year they were signed with Equilibrium Music and they’d recorded their first full-length album “Embrace the Foolâ€, which has been released in November 2007!
