Boy Harsher Release "Burn It Down - Rework"

Northampton based dark/electronic/drone duo Boy Harsher (aka Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller) have released "Burn It Down - Rework".

The song is part of 'Burn It Down (From The Motion Picture 'Halloween Ends')', set to arrive on October 22 via Sacred Bones Records. Pre-order it here.

The duo have contributed a sumptuously eerie track for the David Gordon Green directed finale to the iconic Halloween franchise. Sacred Bones and Nude Club (Boy Harsher’s imprint) are joining forces and releasing a proper 12” maxi single containing four versions of the track “Burn it Down,” to be released in tandem with the original score provided by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies.

Boy Harsher said of the experience: “During an extremely brief period of rest between tours, we got this call from the music supervisor of Halloween Ends. The director, David Gordon Green, had listened to our music and wanted to use something for the final installment in the trilogy -Halloween Ends. We flew to New York the next day to meet the team and discuss the possibilities. It was totally surreal. Obviously we’re huge fans of Carpenter and the franchise is a fav, but to work with Gordon Green was also so special, his early films (George Washington,Undertow, Snow Angels) were heavy influences on our work. The real kicker is that Halloween Ends was shot in Savannah, GA - the birthplace of Boy Harsher and where we met. Unbelievable. It all felt too synchronous, and we knew we had to make something work although we were about to leave for a multi-month tour that week. We flew home to Massachusetts, dug through old demos, and found “Burn It Down”. In the end it was the perfect energy for the bittersweet love affair between Allyson and Corey, so during a couple days off - we cleaned it up and made it come alive.”

The album balances cinematic instrumentals with pop songs that push the boundaries of Boy Harsher’s sound.

“Give Me a Reason” is a smoky bar room at the end of the night. It’s leaning against red tail lights in hot, dry wind. Side-eyes and you take a sip. It’s when you open your mouth, but say nothing. We wrote this song in the middle of the pandemic, during isolation. It felt good to remember / fantasize about late night possibilities. Now “we’re back” but truthfully it feels like life will never be the same. So use this number to feel good again and show us how you dance to it x

The song is out today (April 24) via independent label Reckless and is taken from their upcoming debut album 'Ready Steady Bang'. Get it here.

On the origins of​ ‘When The Lights Go Out’ ​singer Angela reveals,​“It’s Friday night, at last the working week’s over, and guess what, it was a bit of a shitty week... again. Nothing changed, everything’s the same, so we go out and we drink with our mates to escape it all. Legendary night ​of self-medication, the downward spiral, before the week starts all over again. This song is about depression and using alcohol as a pick me up to freedom, only to find you are trapped in a cycle.”

This Studio Session for the track was recorded the weekend before the world went into lock down. Watch it below.
