Bôa (stylized bôa) are an English alternative rock band formed in London in 1993, by drummer Ed Herten, keyboard player Paul Turrell, and guitarist/vocalist Steve Rodgers. The band progressed from a funk band to a rock band over the years, as bassist Alex Caird and multi-instrumentalist Ben Henderson joined the group, and Jasmine Rodgers was added as vocalist.
They produced two major albums, Twilight (2001) and Get There (2005). Their track
Duvet was the opening theme song to the anime television series
Serial Experiments Lain. The band was originally signed by Polystar in Japan and produced their first album The Race of a Thousand Camels (1998).
Following their success with Twilight, the band decided to create their own independent label called Bôa Recordings to produce. Get There was released on 1 February 2005. It took Bôa in a new direction, with more structure in lyrics and melody, as well as a more mellow, yet more harder-edged/indie rock format. It also had more acoustic elements than the first album.
In August 2021, "Duvet" saw a massive resurgence in popularity, especially on TikTok, with over 250,000 posts using the song as of August 2023.
On 28 September 2023,
Duvet charted on the Official Charts and peaked at number 18 and charted for 2 weeks from 28/09/2023 to 05/10/2023.
In March 2024, the band announced on their Facebook page that the song "Duvet" had achieved gold disc status.
