The most viral thing in music right now seems the costumed Canadian math rock band of polka dotted alien weirdos, Angine de Poitrine? The YouTube algorithm has loaded up my feed with them and I have to say, my curiosity is piqued.

Their music is so weird and due to their use of microtonal scales, the notes between the notes, at first just seems off key but somehow I keep watching them. This one in particular is my favorite with a riff that will stick in your ear if you watch it a few times.

These freaks are masters of their craft. Their foot-controlled looping skills alone and ability to mix and match different time signatures to build their sound is remarkable and that drummer... what can I say? I've watched a few videos of other musicians trying to analyze their work and they are blown away.

This has a few more samples of their "music"

And this one has a more in-depth analysis explaining their "math rhythms".

Love it , hate it? It's hard to decide!
 
Takes me back to Zappa and early Pink Floyd. It would probably freak some of my guests out if I played this at a BBQ out here in the bush

My thoughts,

Oh, I was/am a fan of the B52s even though I prefer classic rock, etc. They were huge in our state before they went national with Rock Lobster. They weren't the first college town band to crack the bigtime...

That said, there's a video from thier recent show in Vegas, they are showing thier age just a little bit
 
That's cool. "Sweet" the English pop band of the 70's is touring Aust. They are also showing their age. Loved their music. B52's were a fine example and Devo was one of the bands I thought of when looking at the OP video.

When I hear the B52 song "Rock Lobster" I just can't get the sight of a young lass dancing the 'robot' to it year ago. At a disco thing she took over the dance floor herding others off the square. Very serious she was. Being smashed, I. I . i dunno. What makes one think to do that robot dance to Rock Lobster. Watching her I think I tipped my beer into my ear.
