Angine de Poitrine

Angine de Poitrine (French: [ãʒɪn də pwatʁɪn] ) is a Canadian rock duo formed in Saguenay, Quebec, in 2019. Its anonymous members perform under the pseudonyms Khn de Poitrine (guitar, bass) and Klek de Poitrine (drums). They are known for complex microtonal compositions in the style of math rock and experimental rock, and an absurdist image involving oversized papier-mâché masks and black-and-white polka-dotted costumes.

Angine de Poitrine conceived the disguises to retain audiences across back-to-back sets at a local venue. Following their debut album, Vol. 1 (2024), they gained notice on the Quebec festival circuit and won Artist of the Year at the 2025 GAMIQ awards. They achieved viral recognition in February 2026 when a live session recorded for the US radio station KEXP accumulated millions of views. It was followed by their second album, Vol. II (2026), and international tours.
