Boy Harsher
Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller making darkwave that feels like a film score for something you shouldn't watch — throbbing synths, whispered menace, fog everywhere.
Boy Harsher are the duo of vocalist Jae Matthews and producer Augustus Muller, formed in Savannah, Georgia and later based in western Massachusetts. Their music draws on coldwave, EBM and minimal synth: drum machines, sequenced bass and analogue synthesisers under Matthews' spoken and whispered vocals. The pair have a strong interest in film, and their work includes soundtrack material alongside their albums, which contributes to the cinematic quality of the records. They perform as a two-piece, with Muller handling hardware and Matthews fronting the stage.
