Boy Harsher
Since 2014, Boy Harshers have consistently released material that many would arguably consider the gold standard of darkwave and new industrial. Matthews and Muller met while studying film in Savannah, where Matthews wrote screenplays and Muller composed music for non-existent films. Their first EP »Lesser Man« was originally released in a small cassette edition, but quickly caught on online and became an underground hit. The 2016 LP »Yr Body is Nothing« and 2017 EP »Country Girl« took the duo on extensive tours and sold-out shows in the US and Europe, where they became known for their reckless and electrifying live performances. Boy Harshers were able to carry that momentum directly into their 2019 LP »Careful«, which has been praised to the skies by NPR Music, Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, VICE and many others.
Boy Harshers fifth album »The Runner« is not a conventional album. It is the musical counterpart to the short film »The Runner«, which was released at the same time and written, produced and directed by the two. »The Runner« is a horror film interwoven with a meta-style documentary about the album recordings. The soundtrack combines cinematic instrumentals with pop songs that push the boundaries of Boy Harsher’s sound.
