With a chosen mission to support and champion the vibrant and largely undiscovered music scene of their home province, Angine De Poitrine will feature a rotating lineup of Quebec artists as opening acts throughout the fall, including psychedelic rockers Population II, electronic singer-songwriter Annie-Claude Deschênes, high-energy noise rock trio zouz, and Montreal guitarist, composer, and improviser René Lussier.
The eagerly awaited US tour continues an epic 2026 international live schedule for Angine de Poitrine that also features sold-out headline dates, festival performances, and more across the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom. US festival appearances include King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Field of Vision II in Buena Vista, CO (August 14), Seattle, WA’s The KEXP BBQ (August 22), Elizabethtown, NY’s Otis Mountain Get Down (September 11), Austin, TX’s Levitation (September 12), Chicago, IL’s Riot Fest (September 19), and Richmond, VA’s Iron Blossom Festival (September 20).
The sold-out US headline tour continues a momentous 2026 for Angine de Poitrine, a landmark year that has also seen the acclaimed release of the duo’s second full-length album, Vol. II, available here now. Following the highly anticipated U.S. physical releases of Vol. I and Vol. II in June, the band debuted at No. 1 on nine Billboard charts, including No. 3 on Top Album Sales, No. 2 on Vinyl Albums, and No. 2 on Indie Store Album Sales. Since their release, the albums have held the number 1 slot on the Indie Store Album chart for eight consecutive weeks.
Vol. II stretches the boundaries of Angine de Poitrine’s brisk, high-voltage approach with even bolder, more dynamic structures. Once again, three essential forces fuel the duo’s inspiration: acid techno, disco, and rock. Vol. II includes such fan favorites as “Fabienk,” which, true to Les Frères de Poitrine’s style, revolves around a single microtonal guitar loop that repeats, doubles, and evolves through a groove that is both insistent and liberating.
Hailed by The Guardian for their “hypnotic riffs and grooves, whose proggy time shifts are all in astonishing lockstep, making this as much party music as it is prog,” the Mantra-Rock Dada Pythagorean-Cubist Orchestra known as Angine de Poitrine gaze in wonder at hot dogs, pyramids, and rock music in all its glorious excess. In just two years, time-traveling space-voyagers Khn de Poitrine (microtonal guitars, vocals) and Klek de Poitrine (percussion, vocals) have surpassed the earthly rock stars they once emulated, earning critical acclaim, millions of streams, and countless new fans worldwide. Structured around a dynamic interplay of adding and removing sound patterns in a constant state of metamorphosis, Angine de Poitrine’s repertoire makes hearts race and bodies move with ecstatic abandon. Through tight, pulsing drum grooves and intricate tangles of double-necked microtonal guitar, the noble brothers summon swirling vortices of hypnotic sound and vision.
Having spent much of the past two years in the eye of an ever-growing storm of enthusiasm from audiences and critics thanks to their asymmetrical, dissonant music and electrifying performances – including a stunning Live on KEXP session that has quickly amassed over 18M views and counting – Angine de Poitrine unveiled Vol. II in April 2026 to worldwide applause from such prestigious publications as the New York Times, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Paste, and more. The duo marked the album’s arrival with virtually non-stop touring around the globe, selling out venues worldwide within minutes, often months in advance. Highlights thus far include a one-night-only show supporting Jack White at Toronto, ON’s RBC Amphitheatre and a free headline show during the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which drew record turnout in excess of 80,000 fans.
