Bosse-de-Nage
American experimental black metal band
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! Black Emperor.[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."[4] The band's lyrics touch upon various subjects, such as sex, filth, bodies, perversion, and death.[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.[9]
