Angine de Poitrine are inescapable right now.

They’re a Canadian duo who have been catapulted to viral success after a KEXP session recorded at the 48th edition of the Trans Musicales festival in Rennes, France.

One has long noodly hair, a Pinocchio nose,plays a double-necked guitar, and looks like they’ve been struck from above by an inverted white pyramid. The other appears to be the bastard lovechild of a dalmatian and the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

1. Very interesting at first listen; less so after repeated listens.

The rigid structure that makes it different (math rock) also means no surprises after you've heard it a few times.

Fun to visit, but I would not recommend it for a long road trip.

2. Totally Agree

Interesting concept but wears thin quickly.
I messed with microtonal stuff for a bit 30+ years ago because my Proteus allowed for 24 note octaves.
Using a sequencer I had fun for a few days. But, I couldn't really develop a consistent thought and couldn't play against the sequence.
So, I got bored with it.
