In one of those weird things where it feels like the internet is actually fulfilling its promise, Angine de Poitrine has gone viral. They are a... uhh, alien? rock group of two guys from Saguenay in the interior of Québec. They play a simultaneously incoherent and very danceable style of microtonal music. They've been active for a few years but blew up in the past two weeks thanks to the video I linked of them playing a studio session in Rennes. Previously obscure if you weren't a real music nerd, their current tour is now selling out everywhere.
The youtube comments are quite funny, but there's also a realization that this is the kind of music that is both cool and totally unmarketable, and so it sort of falls to the whims of the algorithm as to whether unique, interesting, and talented artists like this can find a following.

Everything about the visual aesthetic screams "annoying gimmick band" (they seriously replaced the volume and tone pots with dice? really?), but I can't deny this is a lot of fun, while still being math-y enough for the "count the time signatures" crowd.
My God, that double-necked guitar/bass must weigh a fucking ton though.
