I have actually heard of this group before, thanks to an obscure reference in a Twenty One Pilots song oddly enough: https://genius.com/15480382

I came here to see if anyone mentioned this lol

This band has adopted the character of Nicolas Bourbaki in their concept album Trench. It's interesting since they commonly use the symbol Ø in their branding, which was introduced in mathematics by Nicolas Bourbaki to denote an empty set.

I also checked to see if they were mentioned! It’s interesting how a band can make you aware of something very obscure (outside of my domain, that is).
