BOY HARSHER to reissue sold out LPs on new label

Hear The Soft Moon remix of "Pain". Darkwave duo to reissue sold out EPs including underground cult hit Pain

With a new album in the pipeline for later this year, Northampton, Massachusetts duo BOY HARSHER are reissuing their two sold out 12”s via their own new record label, Nude Club. ‘Lesser Man’ and ‘Yr Body Is Nothing’ will be re-released on April 27th, with a new two-track 12” ‘Pain II’ to follow on May 11th.

Since 2014, Boy Harsher have built something of a cult following for their gritty, beat-led darkwave, consistently selling out live dates and racking up nearly 2 million YouTube plays for underground hit “Pain”.

Now, as they prepare to play SXSW followed by an extensive US tour with The Soft Moon, these 12”s will be made available again. They have also shared a remix of “Pain” by The Soft Moon, which will be included on both the new extended edition of ‘Lesser Man’ as well as the ‘Pain II’ vinyl - details of each release & format below.

Boy Harsher is a dark electronic duo that produce gritty dance beats infused with ethereal vocals, creating a sound that is eerie, intense and incredibly danceable. Augustus Muller develops the underbelly of sound with minimal beats and grinding synths, where Jae Matthews whispers, screams and chants on top. Together, the music created is somewhere between industrial, drone and confessional storytelling. Muller and Matthews both have a strong background in film and their cinematic approach translates effectively in both their recordings and live performance.

In 2017, they released the ‘Country Girl EP’ via Ascetic House and played their first ever UK shows, which sold out far in advance.
