Boces is the second album by Mercury Rev, released in 1993. It was their final album with frontman David Baker, who was asked to leave shortly after the supporting tour concluded.[7] The title is derived from the Boards of Cooperative Educational Services system of vocational schools in New York.[7]
During the tour (on Lollapalooza) for this album, the band were forced off the stage for being too loud.[8]
