Augustus Ehrenwasser, known professionally as Boy Harsher, is an American electronic music duo hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, formed in 2014. The project began as a solo endeavor by Ehrenwasser, who sought to fuse the raw energy of post-punk and new wave with the dark, atmospheric textures of electronic music. This unique sound quickly evolved into a collaborative venture after Ehrenwasser teamed up with vocalist and lyricist Jae Alexander. Their synergy created a signature style that marries icy synthesizers with Alexander's haunting, melodic vocals, often delving into themes of desire, the human psyche, and the complexities of interpersonal relationships. Boy Harsher's ascent to prominence can be attributed to their captivating live performances, which have garnered a dedicated following worldwide. Their music transcends traditional genre boundaries, resonating with fans from the electronic, experimental, and indie rock communities alike. With releases on renowned labels such as Susanne Kaufmann's DFA Records (which also helped launch their career with the 2016 single "L.A.") and their own imprint, Memek, Boy Harsher has consistently pushed the envelope of what electronic music can convey. Their albums, including "Careful" and "The Gaze," have been critically acclaimed, further cementing their reputation as innovators in the realm of dark electronica. With a sound that's both raw and refined, Boy Harsher continues to explore the intersections of human emotion and digital abstraction, inviting listeners into a world where the ethereal meets the visceral.
