Mysterious microtonal cardboard duo Angine de Poitrine have been turning heads with their wildly inventive and off-kilter sound and electrifying live shows. Made up of Khn de Poitrine (microtonal guitars, vocals) and Klek de Poitrine (percussion, vocals), they have swiftly built a reputation as one of the most unpredictable and exhilarating acts around. Channeling a strange and hypnotic energy, their music thrives on shifting patterns, hypnotic grooves, and looping microtonal guitars with propulsive percussion. Comes April 3rd, they will release their much anticipated new album, Vol. II. Built around their signature technique of layering and reshaping repeating motifs, the record sees them leaning into sharper contrasts, more dynamic structures, and an overall sense of urgency that makes it feel fast, daring, and ecstatic. As the press release describes, “the noble brothers summon swirling vortices of hypnotic sound and vision”.

Angine de Poitrine have already let loose two blistering and trance-inducing singles from the album, ‘Fabienk’ and ‘Mata Zyklek’. Play them loud!


Mixtape #180

02 February 2026

Emerging from the fertile Chicago post-rock scene of the late 1990s, Pullman features members of Tortoise, Directions in Music, Rex, Come, and Eleventh Dream Day. A studio-born acoustic supergroup, the band brings together Ken “Bundy K.” Brown, Curtis Harvey, Chris Brokaw, and Doug McCombs, with drummer Tim Barnes rounding out the lineup. Conceived as a space to explore instrumental ideas outside of their other bands, Pullman released two acclaimed and influential albums, Turnstyles & Junkpiles (1998) and Viewfinder (2001). More than twenty years on, Pullman returns with III, a beautiful, intimate and gentle record shaped by long friendship, trust and collaboration. One of the year’s most rewarding listens, it’s been a real joy spending time with it since it landed last month. So we couldn’t be happier to share the superb mixtape Pullman put together for us, offering a window into the sounds and influences that feed into their world. Press play and enjoy.
