The song Sarniezz by Angine de Poitrine is widely popular on TikTok and presented as a live session. Listeners describe it as sounding like SpongeBob, involving farting-like noises, and featuring characters with big noses and creepy appearances. Some viewers find it disturbing, boring, and lacking meaning, and they warn against watching the music video. Others say the lack of words makes sense because creating meaningful lyrics would be difficult. The music is described as creative and showing musicianship, with influences such as jazz, avant-garde rock, and possibly Primus. The costumes are seen as helping make the avant-garde feel more accessible.
"These children have a lot of thoughts about Angine de Poitrine's song Sarniezz (Live on KEXP), which has been receiving loads of attention on TikTok. Is it disturbing? Creative? Nonsensical? They discuss it all with our critic, Jon Caramanica, on this special edition of Song of the Week."
"I didn't really like it. Kind of boring and no meaning. I think this is a little bit disturbing. It sounded like farting and why do they have big noses? I would not recommend watching the music video unless you want to be blind. I feel like that the characters do look a little creepy."
"Finally, a song with no words. I think it actually kind of makes sense that it doesn't have words. It'd be really hard to make words that actually make sense for this song like [guttural scatting] [screechy gibberish]"
"I liked the music. So there's real musicianship on display in this song. I hear fluency in jazz. I hear fluency in certain corners of avant-garde rock. Maybe fluency in Primus? The music was kind of all over the place, but I think I could like, kind of appreciate that because it must have taken like time to put that all together. It was creative. Just not good."
