Masked Quebec duo Angine de Poitrine redefine live prog with microtonal mystique
TL;DR Summary
Angine de Poitrine are a Quebec-based, masked duo whose microtonal, proggy rock has ignited online hype. Known for their handmade papier-mache headpieces, they emphasize live performance over PR, keep their identities shrouded, and draw peers from King Gizzard and avant-garde circles. After forming in Saguenay and releasing Vol II, they continue touring the UK and Europe while juggling day jobs, insisting the band’s mystique is an intentional part of the art rather than a shortcut to fame.
