Angine de Poitrine, the oddball Canadian math rock duo that went viral over the summer, made their U.S. television debut this week. They recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, performing a new song called “Zugzegk” and showcasing their expert musicianship and playful guitar work.
The performance had a slinky playfulness reminiscent of a surreal surf-rock cartoon. Angine de Poitrine gained unexpected popularity due to viral videos from their KEXP session.
The band successfully translated their music theory nerd-outs into crowd-pleasing entertainment.
