#2876: Angine de Poitrine – Mata Zyklek

“Babe, quick, wake up! A new weird band has just dropped!” How to build a fanbase of thousands in just over a week? Just put on your strangest outfit, play some raging psych rock and get KEXP to notice you. That’s what Angine de Poitrine (meaning angina pectoris, which is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart) must’ve thought, a band looking and sounding as strange as the place they’re from: Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It’s always good fun when bands like this burst onto the scene. Safe to say Angine de Poitrine looks and sounds very interesting and entertaining. Of course, this specific genre in combination with some flamboyant attire is basically the How To Get A Cult Following 101 but it remains good fun to see it all unfold. Angine de Poitrine is what you get when you blend King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Devo, a bit of Clown Core, and a Dalek into a smoothie: a disgustingly nutrient mix made of the least appreciated fruits from the rock’n’roll tree.
