About Angine de Poitrine and the 2026 World Tour

Few new bands have moved as quickly from internet curiosity to legitimate live phenomenon as Angine de Poitrine. The anonymous Montreal-based duo, whose name is the French medical term for the chest pain known in English as angina pectoris, first appeared on streaming and short-form video in late 2023 with a string of microtonal instrumental tracks that defied easy genre categorization. By the time their 2024 debut full-length Volume I reached streaming, algorithmic curation and word-of-mouth had already turned them into a name that older indie rock fans and newer microtonal nerds were both passing around in the same breath.

The duo consists of Khn de Poitrine, who plays a custom-built microtonal guitar with non-standard fret spacing, and Klek de Poitrine, who handles a minimal drum kit largely held together with electrical tape. The two are described in promotional material as brothers, though both refuse interviews and the entire project is built around a deliberate visual aesthetic of taped cardboard, painted boxes, and lo-fi staging. The band is signed to a small Quebecois label and has released two albums to date: Volume I in 2024, which lived primarily on streaming for over a year, and Volume II, the new 2026 record. Both albums get their first physical release on vinyl and CD on June 12, 2026.

Musically, Angine de Poitrine sit in a small but growing community of artists pushing microtonal tunings into rock and indie contexts. Microtonal music uses intervals smaller than the standard Western half-step, which gives notes the slightly off-kilter character of Middle Eastern, Javanese, or South Indian music. The duo combine those tunings with conventional drum rock structures, creating songs that feel familiar in their pulse but otherworldly in their melodic language. The result has drawn comparisons to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's microtonal records (Flying Microtonal Banana, K.G., L.W.), as well as to Lightning Bolt and a strain of math-rock-adjacent acts that thrive on volume and repetition.

The 2026 tour is enormous. It includes festival appearances at The Great Escape in Brighton, Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, Levitation in Austin, Manchester Psych Fest, End of the Road in the UK, and crucially the King Gizzard-curated Field of Vision II festival -- a fitting bill given the obvious musical kinship. Festival appearances stretch from spring through fall and bookend a series of headline runs.

The North American summer headline leg kicks off August 13 at the Ogden Theatre in Denver and rolls through a two-night Teragram Ballroom stand in Los Angeles on August 17-18, The Independent in San Francisco, the Aladdin Theater in Portland, Underground Arts in Philadelphia, Lincoln Theatre in DC, and the Iron Blossom Music Festival in Richmond. The fall European leg covers Bristol (The Prospect Building), London (The Troxy), and Paris (Elysee Montmartre).

The biggest leg is saved for late fall and winter: a two-night sold-out-on-announcement run at Brooklyn Steel on November 16-17, Royale Boston, Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia, the Masquerade in Atlanta, Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, First Avenue in Minneapolis, the iconic Wiltern in Los Angeles on December 4, the Fox Theater in Oakland, and the Crystal Ballroom in Portland to close. Pretty much every major North American market is hit.

What makes an Angine de Poitrine show special is the way the off-kilter tunings translate live. The microtonal guitar lines sound much more confrontational and physical in person than on record, and the duo lean into the cardboard-and-tape staging as a deliberate counterweight to the music's complexity. The crowds skew young, loud, and unusually engaged for an instrumental band -- there is a kind of communal head-down focus to the rooms that feels closer to a math rock show than a typical indie gig.

What is Field of Vision II?

Field of Vision II is the second edition of the festival curated by Australian psych rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

How early should I arrive at the venue?

Doors typically open about an hour to ninety minutes before showtime. Plan to arrive thirty to forty-five minutes before the show to allow time for security, parking or transit, and finding a good spot at the standing-room venues. The Wiltern, Brooklyn Steel, and Crystal Ballroom in particular reward early arrival.
