Unless you've been sleeping under a rock, you've probably been exposed to this duo from Quebec.
For me, they check all the boxes, including ones I didn't know existed.
I've described them as Minimalist Prog, with a dollop of Lumpy Gravy over Beefhearts, while watching Television.
They loop microtonal, and groove odd time signatures like nobody's business. Combined with the costumes, that makes for great Art. They're doing everything right.
I don't think they've appeared in a post here before, so I'm happy to bring them to your attention. Their music might seem odd at first, but holds up well to repeated listening. In fact addictively fresh, and excellent in the car.
Here is the clip that's gone viral at 7.9 million views in two months. I went straight to Bandcamp and bought both of their albums.
I hope this isn't old news you're all sick of hearing about.
I haven't been burning much wood lately, but Sal gave me the keys to the shop.

Thanks, BBJ. I’d read about them over the weekend via Qobuz and am looking forward to the albums. They are like a modern Residents but more musical to my ears. I like the dedication to their look with dice for knobs on the guitar and gold pyramids on the drum kit. Must be a long prep for a gig.

Crazy! Merci BBJ
