One of the most popular projects of contemporary darkwave will come to Prague. "A rich sound of drone synths that cover the whole spectrum from sweet, subtle and vocally rich tones to walls of music made up of raw and gritty noise," Boy Harsher introduces his work. The new album by the American duo and the soundtrack to the film The Runner will be released on 1 June at the Archa Theatre in Prague. The concert, organised by Fource Entertainment and Heartnoize Promotion, will present a musical creation full of dark dreamlike melodies, minimalist arrangements and a soundtrack teetering on the edge of pop and underground club rave.
Since 2014, Boy Harsher have steadily released what some might call the gold standard of darkwave and new industrial. Matthews and Muller met in Savannah, GA while both studying film and their initial interest in music began with cinema. Matthews would write screenplays and Muller would compose scores for the non-existent films. Their first EP, Lesser Man, was originally released on a small run of cassettes, but rapidly gained online traction and became an underground hit. 2016’s Yr Body is Nothing LP and 2017’s Country Girl EP, propelled the duo into extensive tours and sold out shows across the US and Europe where they became known for their reckless and enveloping live performances. Boy Harsher rode this momentum into 2019’s LP Careful, which was praised by NPR Music, Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, VICE and beyond.
