Either you get it, or you don't.... but it's hard to look away. Mad microtonal with looping and infectious grooves. The comments section is not to be missed either. These guys just changed music.... they're from Quebec.

Well.....I admire the novelty and "outside the box" approach. I listened to the first 2 minutes, then a few random 10-second samples along the rest of the video. Not my cup of tea, thanks.

Yeah! Microtonal music tends to make me feel anxious but the grooves had me from the start. A six-minute looped instrumental that doesn't get boring is an accomplishment in itself. Midway through the video my ear seemed to be getting more accustomed to the "in-between" notes. (It should, considering how often I'm unintentionally playing them on my steel! ) Thanks for posting, Stephen, my jam buddies were just talking about those polka-dot people last night. Now I know.

There's a slew of 'hot take' and OOB videos... one commenter said the blues are actually microtonal and I have to agree... bending notes is a big part of it, a lot of emotion lives between min3 and maj3. And pushing the 5 up just slightly makes me sit on the edge of the chair! Anyway, big fan now, it's on the commute bluetooth, got an Etsy t-shirt on the way.

Can't believe I watched the WHOLE thing ... Certainly NOT my main cup 'o' tea, but there's no denying their musicianship and creativeness. In some ways they reminded me a bit of DEVO, and some of their rhythms I could have sworn I was hearing the band Tool.

That drummer was NUTZ playing with authority, keeping it interesting throughout the performance and his timing was "crack on". I can't even wrap my head around all the different aspects of what that guitarist was managing and all with perfect timing. His left and right brain synapsis must be on "FIRE".

On a side note, if I had to dress like them and the time exorbitant amount of time it must to get into all that garb, I'd never have time to practice, hence making me play even worse than I do now.

Pentatonic scales really are overrated.

Yep... thinking about taking five steps to go up 2 frets makes me happy... might be my early trombone experiences that led me down this path!

I guess you'd say they 'commit to the bit'... one would argue that you have to do things like this to get noticed. The whole 'triangle religion' thing I find appealing... lends more to the 'alien-like' atmosphere. If you see someone wearing their T-shirt at the Jamboree it will probably be me.

Amazing. I loved the comment “eat this AI”
