Quebec’s famous electric rock duo, celebrated for their unique style incorporating microtonality and math rock, as well as their distinctive black-and-white, polka-dotted full-body costumes, could serve as inspiration for your upcoming Halloween attire.
If you’re seeking a break from the usual costume options like salt-and-pepper shakers, consider the Angine de Poitrine couple’s costume available at Party Expert, a prominent party supply retailer in Canada. Priced at around a couple hundred dollars, these costumes quickly sold out online following widespread media coverage but have since been restocked, hinting at the band’s increasing mainstream appeal.
Recognized as a symbol of anti-AI promoting human creativity, the duo has garnered a loyal following that appreciates their unconventional approach, ranging from their unique electronic sound and claims of being 333-year-old time-traveling aliens to their preference for conversing in a fictional language during performances.
For approximately $105 each, you can embody the band’s drummer, Klek de Poitrine, in his signature white ensemble, or channel the guitarist, Khn de Poitrine, with his iconic black attire this Halloween season.
Despite declining to comment on the costumes, the band, originating from Saguenay, Quebec, made their mark in 2019 within the local underground music scene before achieving widespread recognition with the release of their debut album, Vol. 1, in 2024.
Their breakthrough moment came during a live performance at the Festival Trans Musicales in Rennes, France, in December 2025, propelling them to global fame. Their subsequent album, Vol. II, released in April, received critical acclaim, leading to sold-out tour tickets exceeding $500 and record-breaking festival attendance. They recently clinched the prestigious Polaris Album prize and SOCAN Polaris Song Prize for their track “Fabienk.”
Drummer Klek expressed gratitude for the band’s success, attributing it to perfect timing and synergy between the members. While the official costumes are available for purchase, some fans have opted for a do-it-yourself approach, showcasing their creativity by mimicking the band’s distinctive style using everyday materials.
In light of the somewhat steep costume prices, fans can honor Angine de Poitrine’s eccentricity by crafting their interpretations using readily available items and a dash of artistic flair.
The costumes may be a splurge, with the base attire priced at $59.99 and the matching masks/hats costing an additional $44.99, but they promise a standout presence at any Halloween gathering.
For a more budget-friendly option, fans can embrace the band’s spirit of quirkiness by fashioning their own interpretations from household items.
