“While the costumes and anonymity have clearly helped draw attention, Angine de Poitrine’s music is no gimmick; it’s a feat of live unity and dexterity, hand played with zero margin for error...It’s music of precision, agility, and stamina, adding up to a contagious manic energy.” – NEW YORK TIMES “There’s no denying the melodies and chops behind (Angine de Poitrine’s) dotted duds. At their best, they’re a beacon that North America is once again ready for art-fucky noise rock bands.” – PITCHFORK

ABOUT ANGINE DE POITRINE: Hailed by The Guardian for their “hypnotic riffs and grooves, whose proggy time shifts are all in astonishing lockstep, making this as much party music as it is prog,” the Mantra-Rock Dada Pythagorean-Cubist Orchestra known as Angine de Poitrine gaze in wonder at hot dogs, pyramids, and rock music in all its glorious excess. In just two years, time-traveling space-voyagers Khn de Poitrine (microtonal guitars, vocals) and Klek de Poitrine (percussion, vocals) have surpassed the earthly rock stars they once emulated, earning critical acclaim, millions of streams, and countless new fans worldwide. Structured around a dynamic interplay of adding and removing sound patterns in a constant state of metamorphosis, Angine de Poitrine’s repertoire makes hearts race and bodies move with ecstatic abandon. Through tight, pulsing drum grooves and intricate tangles of double-necked microtonal guitar, the noble brothers summon swirling vortices of hypnotic sound and vision. Having spent much of the past two years in the eye of an ever-growing storm of enthusiasm from audiences and critics thanks to their asymmetrical, dissonant music and electrifying performances, including a stunning Live on KEXP session that has quickly amassed over 13M views and counting, Angine de Poitrine unveiled their eagerly awaited new album, Vol. II in April 2026. A brisk, high-voltage album, Vol. II stretches the boundaries of the duo’s approach with even bolder, more dynamic structures. Once again, three essential forces fuel the inspiration: acid techno, disco, and rock. Vol. II includes such fan favorites as “Fabienk,” which, true to the group's style, revolves around a single microtonal guitar loop that repeats, doubles, and evolves through a groove that is both insistent and liberating. The album received worldwide critical acclaim from publications such as The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Paste, and more. * Angine de Poitrine is an anonymous artistic project. Any speculation regarding the identities of its members is unverified and not endorsed by the band. |
