Boy Harsher have announced their new album, ‘GET MEAN’, and released “Hard Beat” with a self-directed music video. The announcement marks the darkwave duo’s major-label debut and introduces a record shaped by grief, heartbreak and recovery following a difficult period for its members.

The 12-track album is due on 18 September via Atlantic Records and includes the previously released single “Jeans”.
