"Two guys in papier-mâché masks from Saguenay, Quebec, have been playing music
together for 20 years since they were 13 years old. For most of that time, they
existed in relative obscurity. Then,
KEXP posted a video of them playing four
songs and the internet lost its mind. As of this week, that video has over ten
million views and their song
Fabienk is No. 1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 – Global
chart. Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame has said they “absolutely
blew his f*cking mind”. The band is Angine de Poitrine, and if you haven’t
watched the full set yet, stop reading this, go watch it, and then come back.
I’ll wait. Or just listen to it while you read this essay.

Okay. Now let me tell you why I think this band is one of the best arguments
for universal basic income I’ve come across in a long time, and why Ireland and
Albert Einstein are part of the same story."
