On the soundtrack to an imagistic new film project, the darkwave duo’s limited palette verges on claustrophobia. Their winning formula hasn’t changed, but the music lacks drive.

Boy Harsher establish a new vision on the soundtrack to their directorial debut The Runner

7.5 / 10

Vocalist Jae Matthews and producer Augustus Muller—known collectively as Boy Harsher—return with a vengeance on the soundtrack to their short Lynchian meta-nightmare The Runner (now streaming on Shudder), unleashing their black latex wash of tightly-crafted synth pop wickedness into a single cohesive score.

6 / 10

Dark, clubby Italo-disco and low-key massive hooks – this film soundtrack is more or less what you'd expect from Boy Harsher

8 / 10

Boy Harsher chose to fill dark times by creating a film and soundtrack. The Runner, a sharp 30-minute horror, unfurls tantalizingly ambiguous events at a stately place.
