Angine de Poitrine: "Vol. I" and "Vol. II" now available on vinyl in a new double box set

Angine de Poitrine have made available a new vinyl box set collecting their two studio albums, “Vol. I” (2024) and “Vol. II” (2026), packaged together in a 2xLP bundle. This marks the first time the Québec math rock duo's debut album has been widely distributed on vinyl.
The bundle, already available for purchase, includes both releases on black vinyl and preserves the original artwork of each album. It's a move that taps into the growing attention around the project, which has snowballed in recent months.

Between 2024 and 2025, Angine de Poitrine steadily grew their following in Canada, but the real turning point came this year, helped along by a viral session for KEXP and the release of “Vol. II”, which brought the duo even more visibility — a duo also known for their anonymity and the papier-mâché masks worn on stage.
For the rest of 2026 the band will be busy with a packed North American tour, confirming their moment of strong momentum.

Angine De Poitrine have also recently made their debut on British television. The masked Québec duo appeared as guests on “Later… with Jools Holland”, the historic British music show regarded as one of the most prestigious stages for both emerging and established artists.
Currently on a European tour — which also included a stop in Italy at the Poplar Festival on May 30 — the two Canadian musicians performed “Fabienk” and “Sarniezz” live, tracks taken from “Vol. II”, the album released in 2026. The record arrived following the hugely popular session recorded for KEXP, which helped turn Khn and Klek into a viral phenomenon.

For the occasion, the two artists took the stage in their trademark polka-dot costumes, which have long been a central element of their visual identity. The performance of “Fabienk”, presented in a shortened version, was paired with “Sarniezz”, confirming the stage presence and surreal aesthetic that have fuelled the project's online success.
The appearance on “Later… with Jools Holland” marks a further step forward for the duo, coming after the warm reception given to “Vol. II”. Once the European leg wraps up, the band will continue their live activity with a long tour across the United States and Canada running throughout the summer and autumn. Videos of the television performances are already available online.
Here below are the videos of the two performances.

Klek and Khn de Poitrine, brothers in concept and musicians who've spent twenty years in the same trenches, show up in black-and-white polka-dot costumes and papier-mâché masks with phallic noses. It looks like a performance-art prank straight out of Warhol's Factory during an acid trip. And in a way, it is: their very name, Angine de Poitrine, is in fact the medical term for angina pectoris, the chest pain that precedes a heart attack. They're almost a living oxymoron: music that stops your heart, and music that gets it racing again at 200 bpm. But the real spectacle is in the fingers. Khn wields a double-neck guitar – half bass, half guitar – hand-modified with extra frets cut with a saw and glued on. The standard Western octave (12 semitones) is here split into 24 quarter-tones. It's not a lab gimmick: it's the very language of the record. The notes normally found between the frets (a D half-sharp, an E half-flat) become the protagonists, not bit players. And yet, miraculously, it all remains graspable. The Western ear recognizes each note as distinct, not as an out-of-tune version of a familiar interval. The result is music that seems to come from a nearby planet, yet still makes you move your feet as if you were still on Earth.
In a rock landscape where innovation is often just a marketing label, Angine de Poitrine have built a genuinely new language starting from a simply insane idea: playing the notes that aren't there. They don't do it with conservatory solemnity, but with humor
