From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FET.NAT is a Canadian experimental music group from Gatineau, Quebec,[1][2] whose 2019 album Le Mal was shortlisted for the 2019 Polaris Music Prize.[3][4][5]

The band consists of vocalist and lyricist JFNO (Jean-Francois Nault), guitarist Pierre-Luc Clément,[6] saxophonist Linsey Wellman[7] and drummer Olivier Fairfield.[8][2] Their sound, most commonly categorized as funk-punk,[9] blends aspects of funk and electronic music with avant-garde free jazz.[2]
