Strangeness and randomness.
speaker_1HOST
This is a profoundly important distinction not just in music, but in the entire philosophy of how humans process art.
speaker_0HOST
Strangeness alone does not create a world.
speaker_0HOST
Strangeness is easy.
speaker_0HOST
A band whose music actively resists being a function.
speaker_1HOST
We're talking about angine de poitrine.
speaker_0HOST
Yes, because when we look at the commodification of our moods and this massive pivot toward contextual listening, we really have to wonder if convenience is actually sanding down the edges of human expression.
speaker_1HOST
I mean, ask yourself, and I mean the listener right now, just think about your own streaming habits.
Jorden GuthHOST
You're probably gonna guess who it is.
Jorden GuthHOST
But a Canadian band, Angine de Poitrine.
Dennis BurgerGUEST
Hmm.
Jorden GuthHOST
Po- Poitrine.

Mike BoonHOST
We're going to get to it.
Mike BoonHOST
But Angine de Poitrine, can you say that for me? You do it, Michael.
Mike BoonHOST
Angine de Poitrine.
Mike BoonHOST
Okay, I have trouble with the P word there.
Mike BoonHOST
Like I have trouble coming out of Poitrine.
speaker_0HOST
So today, we are immersing ourselves in a specific musical work that does exactly this.
speaker_0HOST
It is a piece called Angine de Poitrine.
speaker_1HOST
Well, when we first encounter a piece like Angine de Poitrine, our immediate conditioned response is often a deep sense of psychological and physical disorientation.
speaker_0HOST
Because we're looking for the map.
speaker_1HOST
Exactly.

speaker_0HOST
It's not even off-roading.
speaker_0HOST
It's just wilderness.
speaker_0HOST
The narrative of Angine de Poitrine is one of systematically dismantling those obvious rules.
speaker_0HOST
Because your body knows exactly what is coming next, your nervous system can down-regulate, you can relax into the movement, you can just let the autopilot take over.
speaker_1HOST
But experimental rock, and this is where Angine de Poitrine just excels, takes that contract of physical safety and completely shreds
speaker_0HOST
it.
speaker_0HOST
Just pairs it right up.
David CooperHOST
Thanks for having me.
David CooperHOST
I saw this concert a few weeks ago, and I wanted to talk about Angine de Poitrine on this show.
David CooperHOST
But they're indescribable, at least for me.
David CooperHOST
I'm not a musicology professor.

Alexander CarpenterGUEST
um and yeah rush has a has a legacy of radio hits for sure um but i i have to wonder whether there's you know something of the same impulse that kind of um that kind of patience and that engagement with long form songs long instrumental uh sections virtuosity um irregular meter all of that kind of thing i don't know i don't know how well the comparison holds up you know the closer that they that they get together but um Yeah, it was a phenomenon I was curious about.
Alexander CarpenterGUEST
And the fact that they're touring at the same time, they're selling out and people are so excited about these two bands, two Canadian prog rock bands at the same time is pretty weird.
David CooperHOST
Well, if our appetites are in fact increasing for this more creative, complex music, I want to see like Olivia Rodrigo or Taylor Swift tour with Angine de Poitrine.
David CooperHOST
That would be quite the show.
David CooperHOST
me.

speaker_0HOST
Yes.
speaker_0HOST
We are going to use the wildly complex music of Angine de Poitrine as our ultimate case study today.
speaker_1HOST
It's the perfect example.
speaker_0HOST
Because if you've ever sworn a song went a certain way, only to listen again and realize you were entirely wrong.
11 MINS LATER
speaker_1HOST
It comes down to the aggressive compression of complexity.
speaker_1HOST
We have to look at how the grain handles the imminent threat of information overload.
speaker_0HOST
Because angine de poitrine is nothing if not an information overload.
speaker_1HOST
Exactly.
