Musk Ox is the neofolk / dark acoustic solo project of Canadian Nathanaël Larochette. He plays dark acoustic music in the vein of Ulver's Kveldssanger and Empyrium's Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays.

The one-man project focuses on combining lush acoustics with expansive arrangements, and delicate textures. Born in Fall 2005 out of a combined love for nature’s commanding beauty, and the captivating resonance and emotional depth of the nylon string guitar, Musk Ox is a forlorn journey through natural realms where darkness and light, substance and void, sorrow and joy, exist as a single entity.

With a debut full-length and three self-recorded demos already to his name - Entre la Terre et le Ciel (2006), Entre les Nuages et la Neige (2007), Entre le Soleil et les Arbres (2008) - Musk Ox is quickly establishing himself as one of the brightest prospects in the Neofolk genre, thanks to his keen ability to capture and convey the essence of Canada’s vast, magnificent landscapes through sound.
