Ahead of a highly anticipated appearance at SXSW, and an extensive tour with The Soft Moon, Massachusetts dark wave duo Boy Harsher—one of the sexiest underground acts making music today—have shared with us The Soft Moon’s mesmerizing remix of their club hit Pain.
The track will be included on a new extended edition of ‘Lesser Man’ EP (out April 27th), as well as the new ‘Pain II’ vinyl (out May 11th), which are both set for release on Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller’s newly formed label Nude Club.
Nude Club is also reissuing Boy Harsher’s debut LP Yr Body Is Nothing, along with a tape version of their recent Country Girl EP, which will include the two bonus tracks February, and Swing.
Details below of each scheduled release—along with tour dates:

BOY HARSHER ‘Yr Body Is Nothing’ LP/CD/CASSETTE/DIGITAL (NUDE002)
Out April 27th – Pre-order here.
‘Yr Body Is Nothing’ was originally released on vinyl by DKA records, pressed three times. All pressings sold out in a matter of weeks. With a heavy emphasis on rhythm and atmosphere, the 10-songs presented here showcase a songwriting and production style that is sophisticated and unique, dark but powerfully uplifting. The sound is paradoxically massive yet minimal, providing the perfect space for Jae Matthews’ rich, deep, and emotive vocals to occupy as she, along with co-pilot Gus Muller, pulls the listener ever deeper with each passing song. Also, available on CD for the first time ever!
