Bosse-de-Nage is an American band from San Francisco, California, United States, composed of four anonymous members.
[1] Considered a part of the blackgaze scene,[2][3] the band performs an experimental black metal style that draws from post-rock, shoegaze, post-hardcore, screamo, and indie rock,[4][5][6] with influences from Slint, Mogwai, and Godspeed You!
[7] AllMusic critic Gregory Heaney wrote that the band "crafts a sound that's as comfortable expanding outward as it is contracting into a suffocating mass of needling guitars and frantic drumming.
[8] Their name is taken from French symbolist Alfred Jarry's book Exploits and Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician; it is the name of a monkey which may or may not have been a hallucination of the narrator.
[6] The album caught Profound Lore Records' attention, which released their follow-up III' in 2012.
