About: Boy Harsher

Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller have spent over a decade building one of darkwave's most devoted cult followings - their cold, danceable electronics draw equally from industrial and synth-pop, and their live shows reliably sell out. Beyond music, the pair now direct feature films, with The Lonely Woman due in 2026.
