Angine de Poitrine: watch the video of the new track "Zugzegk" performed on TV by Jimmy Fallon

Angine de Poitrine made their debut on American television, bringing a new track, "Zugzegk", to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". The Québec duo, currently in the midst of their first US tour, thus presented one of their surreal, hypnotic performances to a wide American audience.
Masked and accompanied by their now-recognizable polka-dot imagery, the two musicians opened the performance by displaying their triangular symbol before launching into the new track. Jimmy Fallon himself got in on the introduction, holding up a sign with the title "Zugzegk" written on it, not without a bit of trouble trying to pronounce it.
The track continues along the most eccentric coordinates of Angine de Poitrine's music, weaving together circular repetitions, microtonality and a hammering groove that crosses space-rock and surf-rock suggestions. Front and center is Khn, wielding his peculiar double-necked guitar-bass hybrid, while Klek builds a tight rhythmic weave on drums, dominated by the hi-hat. Watch the performance below.

The TV performance arrives amid a period of growing attention around the Canadian duo, who are right now in the middle of their first American tour. Following their recent live debut in New York, "Zugzegk" marks a further step in the expansion of a project that has made visual impact, a mysterious identity and a hard-to-classify sound its defining traits.
The duo have so far released "Vol. I" and "Vol. II", works that have helped fuel curiosity around their singular sonic blend and the bizarre mythology surrounding their appearances.
