Quebec’s famous electric rock duo, recognized for their unique style incorporating microtonality and math rock, as well as their mysterious persona hidden behind distinctive black-and-white polka-dotted full-body costumes, is now inspiring Halloween costumes. Instead of the usual salt-and-pepper shaker attire, you can opt for the Angine de Poitrine couple’s costume from Party Expert for a reasonable price.
Following media coverage, the costumes quickly sold out online but were restocked the next day, indicating a surge in the avant-garde band’s mainstream appeal. Embraced as a symbol of human creativity against artificial intelligence, the duo’s commitment to eccentricity, from their experimental electronic sound to claiming to be ancient time-traveling extraterrestrials, has captivated fans.
For approximately $105 each, you can embody drummer Klek de Poitrine’s iconic white ensemble or guitarist Khn de Poitrine’s signature black look this Halloween. Despite inquiries, the band declined to comment on the costumes when contacted by CBC.
Originating from Saguenay, Quebec, the duo emerged in 2019, gradually gaining recognition within the local underground music scene before releasing their debut album, “Vol. 1,” in 2024. Their breakthrough came with a performance at the Festival Trans Musicales in Rennes, France, in December 2025, propelling them to stardom with a viral YouTube video garnering 20 million views.
Their subsequent album, “Vol. II,” released in April, received widespread acclaim, leading to skyrocketing resale ticket prices for their 2026 tour and record-breaking festival attendance. Recently, they clinched the prestigious Polaris Album prize and SOCAN Polaris Song Prize for their track “Fabienk.”
In a statement to The Canadian Press in July, drummer Klek attributed their success to serendipity, emphasizing their shared passion for music and the opportune timing of their rise. The Party Expert website touts the Klek costume as an attention-grabbing outfit perfect for office parties or costume contests, ensuring a standout presence among the traditional Halloween characters.
Though the base costumes are priced at $59.99, the additional masks/hats cost $44.99 each, making the full attire a relatively expensive investment. For budget-conscious fans, DIY alternatives offer a chance to embrace the band’s eccentricity by crafting homemade versions using everyday materials and a touch of creativity.
Fans interested in replicating guitarist Khn’s look can explore online tutorials for inspiration, with some enthusiasts opting to create their costumes from scratch. The duo’s peculiar charm continues to captivate audiences worldwide, transcending musical boundaries and establishing a dedicated following within the music industry.
