Boy Harsher announces Get Mean hear “Hard Beat”
The shadows of darkwave are ready to dance again, and the sound is about to hit a fever pitch. Synthpop duo Boy Harsher, Jae Matthews, and Augustus Muller are making a spectacular return, bringing a long-awaited project that promises to redefine their signature atmospheric sound.
After a period of creative pause, the trio is stepping back into the spotlight with their new album, Get Mean. This release marks a significant moment, as it is their first studio offering since 2019’s acclaimed album Careful and the original soundtrack they crafted for their horror film, The Runner, in 2022.
The anticipation for this new chapter began not with a full reveal, but with tantalizing glimpses. Last month, the duo teased the upcoming project by dropping the mall anthem “Jeans,” giving fans a taste of the energy and mood that was to come.
Now, with the single “Hard Beat” released, the full scope of Get Mean is finally unfolding. This new work is particularly compelling given the personal context surrounding their return, as it represents the first major creative push following the end of Matthews and Muller’s romantic relationship.
The combination of established sonic depth and fresh creative energy suggests that Get Mean will be a deeply resonant exploration of darkwave textures, packed with the emotional weight and rhythmic intensity fans have come to expect from Boy Harsher and his collaborators. Prepare yourselves for a deep dive into the music of darkness—the feasting is about to begin.
