Toronto got an unexpected addition to the Angine de Poitrine universe.

At HISTORY in Toronto on 5 November, Khn and Klek debuted an unreleased, as-yet-untitled track. A third costumed character joined them, wearing a box-shaped head with triangular antennae and playing triangle.

Exclaim!, NME and Billboard Canada reported the appearance. The guest’s name and any permanent role have not been confirmed; the track should still be treated as untitled.
