Yesterday, I stumbled across this duo, Angine de Poitrine, and they scrambled my brain. I was listening to this weird microtonal math rock played by a couple of people in goofy polka dot costumes. Canadians are a strange people.
Just look at the frets on this guy’s bass. It took a while for my nervous system to rewire itself to recognize this as music, but then I couldn’t listen to anything else for a while.
I hate it. I’ve tried several times and it just doesn’t get any better for me. I find the sounds irritating and I despise loopers in general because of the resulting repetition. Are they talented? Sure. Do I think what they do sucks? Absolutely.
Opinons…assholes, etc., etc.
It’s probably not what I’d choose to sit and listen to very much, but I absolutely love that they’re so aggressively weird. In these days of mass-manufactured mediocrity and thoroughly bland extruded corporate entertainment product, it’s great to see people doing stuff that’s really not like anything else.
I feel like I ought to hate it, but it’s the repetition with surprises that appeals.
Sounds interesting.
