Boy Harsher Release New Single, Give Me a Reason
From The Runner (Original Soundtrack), Out January 21st via Nude Club/City Slang
Accompanying Film, Written & Directed by Boy Harsher, out January 2022
***
Tower' is a slow-builder that dangles a John Carpenter-esque synth line over steamy ambiance until it melts into a messy puddle of harried shrieks and noisy squalls.
- Revolver, Best New Songs Right Now
Dark and foreboding, Tower merges themes of romantic demise and suffocation with heavy industrial electronics. - FADER, Best Rock Songs Right Now
Tower features Matthews at her eeriest... the tense synth rumbles and distorted keys bubble into a terrifying peak of Matthews desperate shriek. - Paste, Best New Songs
Tower relies on a tension of mystery. Theres no notion of whats trapping Boy Harsher, but the unseen force makes for a great horror narrative. - FLOOD
Today, Boy Harsher, the Northampton-based duo of vocalist/lyricist Jae Matthews and producer Augustus Muller, share Give Me a Reason from their new album The Runner (Original Soundtrack) out January 21st, 2022 via Nude Club/City Slang. Following the heavy presence of lead single Tower, Give Me a Reason finds Boy Harsher leaning into their signature dark pop sound with snappy synths.
***
With Give Me a Reason, we wanted to write something that encapsulates that feeling of yearning the way we feel when we catch eyes from across the room. Our music can be flirty and crushable, and it's fun to play with that, explains Matthews. Over a steely beat, Matthews intones, Speak of the devil // and she will appear // afraid of the runner // who draws herself near. Boy Harsher continue teasing the cinematic universe of The Runner, the short horror film written, produced, and directed by the duo which will be released in January 2022.
***
Boy Harshers fifth release is not a traditional album its a soundtrack that balances eerie instrumentals with pop songs that push the boundaries of the duos sound. In the midst of last years chaos and Matthews MS diagnosis, Muller started working on moody, cinematic sketches. In Matthews period of convalescence, it was uncertain what these pieces would become other than catharsis, but she kept thinking about a sinister character: a woman running through the woods. The duo developed this idea further into The Runner, a film that explores lust, compulsion, and the horrific tendencies of seduction. The movie is intercut with a meta-style documentary about Boy Harshers recording process. The project is a reconciliation of uncertain times made into sound and moving images. The Runner and its soundtrack are both a return to form and an evolution for the duo.
More information on screenings for The Runner is to come. Following the release of the album and film, Boy Harsher will embark on a North American and European tour all dates are listed below and tickets are on sale now. The duo also recently collaborated with Møffenzeef Mødular to create a limited edition drone synthesizer called The Runner.
