The Runner (Original Soundtrack)

by Boy Harsher

supported by

Gordon Skramzy (Nathan) I've always enjoyed Boy Harsher but I don't think they ever really clicked in my brain until I watched The Runner. Now I can't get enough. Favorite track: Autonomy (Ft. Lucy - Cooper B. Handy).

GOTO GOSUB My ears pricked up when I heard this featured on the "Synthwave Top 10" podcast, Jan. 2022. Favorite track: Give Me a Reason.

We're All Going To Die Love the music and the film. More please! Favorite track: Autonomy (Ft. Lucy - Cooper B. Handy).

about

Boy Harsher announce their new album 'The Runner (Original Soundtrack)', out January 21st, 2022. Boy Harsher’s fifth release is not a traditional album ⁠— it’s the soundtrack to a short horror film written, produced, and directed by the duo titled 'The Runner' which will be released January 2022. The album balances cinematic instrumentals with pop songs that push the boundaries of Boy Harsher’s sound.

Last year, in the midst of the obvious chaos, but additionally with Matthews’ MS diagnosis, Muller started working on moody, cinematic sketches. It was uncertain what these pieces would become other than catharsis — the duo were unable to tour and making “club music” did not feel right. In Matthews’ period of convalescence, she kept thinking about a sinister character: a woman running through the woods. Together, the duo developed this idea further into a film that explores lust, compulsion, and the horrific tendencies of seduction.

Featuring the dark pop that Boy Harsher is known for, the album embraces the soundtrack ethos by including eerie instrumentals with tracks featuring guest vocalists that feel like they are from different musical groups — “Machina” is a HI-NRG homage performed by Mariana Saldaña of BOAN. “Autonomy'' is a bright and heartfelt new wave anthem featuring Cooper B. Handy aka Lucy. Boy Harsher’s latest project is a reconciliation of uncertain times made into sound and moving image. The Runner and its soundtrack are both a return to form and an evolution for the duo.

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles

I used to listen to this album on the dialysis ward when I was doing overtime (administration) and there was no one else around but me. I sang along, at least as far as I could make up the lyrics, and hoped that I wouldn't be heard in the intensive care unit. stanze
