Bosse-de-Nage is an American black metal band from San Francisco, California, composed of four anonymous members. Considered a part of the blackgaze scene, their experimental style draws from post-rock, shoegaze, post-hardcore, screamo, and indie rock. The band's influences include the post-rock bands Slint, Mogwai, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. AllMusic critic Gregory Heaney deemed their sound to be "as comfortable expanding outward as it is contracting into a suffocating mass of needling guitars and frantic drumming." Bosse-de-Nage's lyrics touch on subjects like sex, filth, bodies, perversion, and death. 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.
