Angine de Poitrine
Angine de Poitrine (angina pectoris) is a Canadian rock duo formed in Saguenay, Quebec, in 2019. Its anonymous members perform under the pseudonyms Khn de Poitrine and Klek de Poitrine. They are known for complex microtonal compositions in the style of math rock and experimental rock, and an absurdist image, with oversized papier-mâché masks and black-and-white polka-dotted costumes.
The band created the disguises to retain audiences across back-to-back sets at a local venue. Following their debut album, Vol. I (2024), they gained notice on the Quebec festival circuit and won Artist of the Year at the 2025 GAMIQ awards. They went viral 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 sold-out international tours.
