Québec experimental duo Angine de Poitrine play The Independent in San Francisco tonight.
Their unusual approach combines custom microtonal guitar systems, polyrhythmic percussion and an intentionally lo-fi visual aesthetic constructed around cardboard and found materials.
The resulting music can move between blues-like guitar phrasing, Middle Eastern tonal ideas, gamelan-like textures and raw experimental rock without comfortably belonging to any of those categories.
Following two Los Angeles dates, tonight's performance continues a North American tour that heads to Portland on 21 August. This is exactly the sort of genuinely strange independent music worth seeking beyond algorithmic playlists.
