{"product_id":"split-2026-mix","title":"Split (2026 Mix)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBosse-de-Nage and Deafheaven’s landmark 2012 \u003ci\u003eSplit\u003c\/i\u003e has been newly remixed and remastered and returns to vinyl and cassette for the first time in 14 years. Featuring new artwork by photographer Dylan Hausthor, the long-awaited reissue breathes new life into an essential early collaboration between two acclaimed Bay Area metal bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormed in 2006, Bosse-de-Nage first encountered Deafheaven at one of the latter’s earliest shows, held at a now-defunct art gallery in San Francisco’s Mission District. Deafheaven’s demo had just begun making a splash online. “Their performance was amazing; it was clear right away that they were a force to be reckoned with,” Bosse-de-Nage recalls. At a time before blackgaze and post-black metal had fully cohered into recognizable movements, the bands recognized something familiar in one another. They began playing shows together and formed a friendship that has endured ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exact genesis of \u003ci\u003eSplit\u003c\/i\u003e has been lost to time. Arriving just over a year after Deafheaven’s 2011 debut \u003ci\u003eRoads to Judah\u003c\/i\u003e, neither band can remember who first proposed the collaboration, only that the idea made immediate sense. Deafheaven contributed a cover of Mogwai’s “Punk Rock \/ Cody,” while Bosse-de-Nage contributed the original “A Mimesis of Purpose,” which marked their first collaboration with Astrid J. Smith, arranging and performing strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased by The Flenser in 2012, \u003ci\u003eSplit\u003c\/i\u003e became an early milestone for the label and both bands. “We’ve been looking forward to this project for a while,” Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke said at the time. “It’s very exciting to be working with two of the most innovative and forward-thinking staples in the Bay Area, Bosse-de-Nage and Flenser Records.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter years out of print, both bands chose to revisit their contributions rather than simply repress the original release. Longtime Deafheaven collaborator Jack Shirley of Atomic Garden remixed “Punk Rock \/ Cody,” while Richard Chowenhill of Agriculture remixed Bosse-de-Nage’s “A Mimesis of Purpose,” bringing new clarity and dimension to both recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFourteen years later, \u003ci\u003eSplit\u003c\/i\u003e remains a document of two bands encountering one another at a formative moment, recognizing something in each other before either knew where their music would lead. Newly remixed, remastered, and reimagined, the 2026 edition returns that moment to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flenser","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Bubblegum Pink","offer_id":58852814913867,"sku":"R9844-3394","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":58852814946635,"sku":"R9844-0556","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":58852814979403,"sku":"R9844-5724","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/deafheaven-bosse-de-nage-split-2026-cover.jpg?v=1792059838","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/split-2026-mix","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
