Angine de Poitrine Deliver a Bizarre, Microtonal Instrumental Storm on KEXP

Every now and then a performance comes along that makes you stop and say, “What did I just watch?”

This full session from Angine de Poitrine, recorded at Trans Musicales 2025 in Rennes, France, is one of those moments.

The music is microtonal. The outfits are odd. The entire vibe is unhinged and i cant get enough of it.

There’s no traditional bass player here. Instead, the guitarist is handling both guitar and bass duties on a double-neck instrument, moving between registers while looping parts in real time. Layers build, pulse, and warp as the drummer locks into grooves that feel both mechanical and unstable.

It’s instrumental. It’s angular. It’s rhythmically hypnotic and harmonically sideways.

This is weird-ass music.
