Boy Harsher sign to Atlantic Records and announce new album, Get Mean

On Get Mean, Boy Harsher — formed by Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller — face grief and heartbreak across what is described as their “redemption album”. “Hard Beat” follows previous single “Jeans” and arrives alongside a video directed by the band with cinematographer Owen Smith-Clark.

Get Mean will be the band’s first new full-length release since their 2022 album, The Runner. With darker electronic textures, the songs follow a tumultuous period for Boy Harsher, which saw the end of the pair’s romantic relationship, creative blockages, and familial loss, with Matthews describing it as: ”What I had to give during the most extreme period of my life.”
