Boy Harsher Share Marcel Dettmann Remix of “Come Closer” off of “Careful Remixes, etc”

Following the release of their critically acclaimed second studio album Careful earlier this year Boy Harsher have announced a series of remix releases as well as new live dates. They have also shared a Marcel Dettmann remix of “Come Closer”.

On working on the Come Closer Remix, Marcel Dettmann explains:

“Growing up on EBM, synth pop and wave music, I’ve seen a lot of bands come and go throughout years. Hearing Boy Harsher’s music, I felt an immediacy in their songs that I had not often experienced with other bands. I seldom see musical originality and artistic authenticity. To me, the lyrics of “Come Closer” can be read as a poetic reflection of the night club experience and those intimate encounters on the dance floor, a culture I grew up within. It was my pleasure to make this song fit to be played “in the dark.” After all, that’s where I’m at home most of the time.”

On their gratitude for having a Techno legend remix their track, Boy Harsher’s Jae Matthews adds;

“Feeling incredibly humbled that Marcel Dettmann, Berlin paragon of industrial techno and Berghain resident, not only knows about Boy Harsher but wanted to collaborate in the most sacred way possible: the club remix. Dettmann turns “Come Closer” into an abject moment of lust and desperation, possibly only seen on the dance floor at four am. The song is already about spiraling, but the way Dettmann accents this inclination is totally exhilarating and erotically anxious”.

Listen to the remix of “Come Closer” by Marcel Dettmann.

‘Come Closer’ MAXI 12” and ‘Tears’ MAXI 12” will be released on June 28th via Boy Harsher’s own label Nude Club. Both MAXI 12”s will be pressed on black vinyl. Additionally, there will be a deluxe edition of both 12”s on crystal clear vinyl limited to 300 copies, which includes a bonus 7” (on crystal clear vinyl as well), exclusively available through the band mail-order or Bandcamp.

The digital version of the “Come Closer” remix will be released as a 12 track album entitled ‘Careful Remixes, etc.’ which is available for pre-order on Bandcamp and via all digital platforms.
