The phenomenon Angine de Poitrine, the band that drives musicians crazy, challenges popular taste and hides behind disguises

It seems that the anonymity did not last long for Angine de Poitrine. Very long noses and white polka dot suits. For some reason we still wouldn’t be able to explain, the Internet loves them and so do musicians. They sound like the Red Hot Chili Peppers were doing some kind of jazz. They test each other, they provoke each other as if their meaningless songs challenged popular taste.

Made in Canadabecame a viral phenomenon. They are the new global music phenomenon. Progressive rock would fall short. Björk wouldn’t understand them. They sound like a ball of anxiety. As if something had broken and a feeling of threat was hovering above.

It is seen that now there is a need for strange things that only humans can do. There are two Angine de Poitrine and they appear disguised in a psychedelic version of the Anteater. Technically it is a mess: they divide the scale into 24 tones instead of the 12 of the Western system. The songs? They move in unusual time signatures such as 10/4, 17/4 or 28/4.

One member plays the guitar and bass, on an instrument with two necks that brings together both, creating riffs with loops and pedals, while the other plays the drums. They are defined in their networks as “Pythagon-cubist dadaist mantra-rock orchestra”They come from the total underground doing noise rocky punk. Before, they were called La Poêsse, La Poexe, La Poëysce either La Poesse. Now, in Spanish, they are called Angina pectoris.

If things are as they are, individuals who play anonymity only identify themselves as Khn de Poitrine (guitar, bass and looping) and Klek de Poitrine (battery). Their identities are omitted, although the investigation of their names and faces continues to add detectives. In the videos they appear with paper mache costumes and some paint. Mystery is gold and creates legends.

Everyone is fascinated by Angine de Poitrine. Fernando Samaleathe monstrous drummer of Charly and so many more, sends a video by phone with two science fiction comments: “I’m sick with Angina pectoris. Some freaks.”

An excellent guitarist –old school– knows well what we’re talking about. “They even appear in my soup. I wasn’t interested in listening to a single song.. “They attract attention because they dress up,” he says annoyingly. “I don’t want to give my name to talk about these types of bands.”

The idea of ​​the closing artist is unbeatable since Kiss a Mashmellow, going through Gorillaz and Daft Punk. Musically, there are direct or not references to Frank Zappa and King Crimson. So hyped all that until Dave Grohlformer Nirvana, from their generic rock with Foo Fightersspoke of Angine de Poitrine. “They blew my mind. You are amazing and completely crazy”.

In the field of conjecture, it is said that “angina pectoris” is due to “throbbing” sensation which generates its unusual sound. They are so deformed and incomprehensible that they resemble an act of love. They started Angine de Poitrine just before the pandemic, in 2019, but they began acting in 2023.

Until a while ago, the Angina were in the positions #1, #3 and #7 of some viral Spotify lists. Its big viral leap occurred when the American radio station KEXP He played a session recorded on a terrace in Montreal that surpassed seven million views on YouTube. They published it in February 2026 and in a matter of weeks it accumulated almost nine million views.

If the nose moves from side to side it’s because the drummer is going to rock. The bass lines they use sound quite funk. There is talk of something called microtonal music. A strange, incorrect clicking of heels. It seems to be a widely explored approach in jazz.

Here is another jargon to define them: math rock. A rhythmic complexity of odd measures, syncopations and tuning systems that divide the octave into more than 12 notes. The result is music that is out of the ordinary. In other words, it is like a long gargle of anabolic steroids.

One of the two plays a type of two-handed guitar, like the one that became known when Jimmy Page toward stairway to Heaven. The instrument, which sometimes seems out of tune, has more frets than those found on a Casa Núñez guitar. A hybrid of a Stratocaster and a bass, both with more notes than normal.

AND the drums are not just the classic ones of a rock bandbut rather mixes electronic sounds, loops and plays with noises and noises that must put Lisandro Aristimuño in a very good mood. Everything is chaotic. There is not the slightest hope of a chorus or melody. Music for pills and moving your head like with AC/D. What is now called “auditory experience”.

Rhythm, repetition, dissonance. “Music of precision, agility and endurance, driven by a frenetic and contagious energy.” He New York Times succumbed to the duo’s charms. Sean Ono Lennonson of the former Beatle, puts hearts on every publication about them. He called them “crazy” and was amazed: “I have never seen such a peculiar instrumental band go viral like Angine de Poitrine. “Everyone I know sent me their video at least once.”

Jack White He is another big fan. He wanted to join them on his next tour, an offer that was rejected because they will be on their own tour until the end of the year. The aforementioned Dave Grohl said in an interview: “A friend sent them to me yesterday and it absolutely blew me away. I don’t know how to explain it, you just have to look at these people. The stack of pedals they’re using! And they’re creating loops with each of these riffs. It’s totally crazy!”

Another element that accompanies the project pamphlet talks about Angina arrived to “challenge artificial intelligence”implying that its sound is almost as unique as it is inaccessible to ChatGPT.

The two stooges just released their second album on April 3, two years after Vol. 1. The new opus is defined as “energetic” and of “high voltage”with the duo adopting “even bolder and more dynamic structures”. Would Pappo tell them to get an honest job?
