The Angine de Poitrine tandem may not be on the verge of a stroke, but the signs of the electrocardiogram (cardiogam!) don’t lie: the buzz is tangible, we were able to measure its impact at Ausgang, on Friday, November 21, in the context of M for Montreal. This microtonal guitar-percussion tandem (Khn de Poitrine and Klek de Poitrine on the drums) coated with electro is booming on the indie scenes with its carnival costumes and its digitized Cro-Magnon tracks, served in the form of friendly saturated grunts. Good beasts! All these elements contribute to a winning formula, both daring and hilarious. Tribal grooves are thus immersed in a thick magma of effects pedals and other hypnotic frequency generators. All the beats on the program are well-known, often inspired by prog and mathcore (for the composed bars), psych-rock, Ledzeppian hard-rock (for Jimmy Page’s famous oriental riffs, necessarily microtonal) or downright noise. The interventions of the microtonal strings (Siamese guitar and bass, two handles and a single body) thus eject us from the melodic scales commonly used in the mentioned styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This music is made of melodic-harmonic motifs lying on hellish rhythms; all these textural overlays produce an extraordinary jam. Balanced like a jam, these pieces on the program are relatively simple, few variations along the way, except for a few more sophisticated bridges. Regardless of what we think, Angine de Poitrine turns out to be simply incendiary; these thundering blueberries (Saguenay, Alma) make you explode in the face. The ripple effect of this festive trance is undeniable, impossible to resist. Heading for a heart attack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
