Music
Angina pectoris
Oddly enough, it’s the strangest oddballs you’ve ever seen who are making math rock party-ready now.
With a good gimmick you can get a long way, but Angine de Poitrine’s KEXP session certainly wouldn’t have gone viral last December if the music didn’t immediately grab you by the scruff of the neck as well. Anyone who initially chuckles at the wobbly, rather phallic nose on Khn de Poitrine’s polka-dotted papier-mâché mask will soon lose themselves in the killer grooves of this "Mantra-Rock Dada Pythagorean-Cubist Orchestra" from Quebec. They are like a style-consistent Black Midi, a two-headed Lizard Wizard, a party band that would unashamedly put on Primus or King Crimson in the queue. They’ll make you bounce around until you see polka dots everywhere for the rest of the weekend.
