Boy Harsher are heading back out on the road this fall, with the popular darkwave duo announcing The Heartbreak Tour, a North American run that begins with a June 26 appearance at 1015 Folsom in San Francisco before properly kicking into gear Sept. 25 at Basilica Hudson in Hudson, New York. From there, Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller will move through Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Oakland, Los Angeles, Del Mar, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Fort Worth, New Orleans, Atlanta, Asheville, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Queens, where the tour wraps Nov. 5 at Knockdown Center.

The routing includes two-night stands at Chicago’s Metro, Portland’s Revolution Hall, and Seattle’s The Showbox, along with an Oct. 24 appearance at Sick New World – DFW in Fort Worth. Support on select dates includes Choir Boy, Evanora Unlimited, True Blue, and Kassie Krut, while the Philadelphia date expands into a full Halloween event with its own stacked bill.

The Heartbreak Tour marks Boy Harsher’s first extensive North American headlining run since the 2022 tour cycle around The Runner, when select dates paired the live show with screenings of the duo’s short horror film. They have continued to surface for select shows, festival appearances, remix work, and soundtrack projects since then, but the center of gravity has moved away from the usual album-tour pattern and toward film, scoring, and adjacent projects.

Matthews and Muller, who met in Savannah while studying film, first released Lesser Man as a small-run cassette before the EP became an underground hit. They followed with Yr Body Is Nothing in 2016 and Careful in 2019, a record that pushed their cold, body-moving electronics further into cinematic unease.

That filmic impulse became explicit with The Runner, the duo’s 2022 short horror film and accompanying soundtrack. Written, produced, and directed by Matthews and Muller, the project blurred album, score, and visual world-building, pairing the duo’s darker instrumentals with guest turns from Mariana Saldaña of BOAN on “Machina” and Cooper B. Handy, aka Lucy, on “Autonomy.” The Machina thread continued in 2024 with the Machina EP, which expanded the track with alternate versions and remixes.

Boy Harsher have also kept up a steady presence through remix work, including their 2024 rework of Pet Shop Boys’ “New London Boy,” a pairing that made sense: two duos fascinated by desire, distance, pop architecture, and the strange glamour of the city after dark.

Matthews, meanwhile, has been building a parallel life in film and solo-adjacent work. She wrote My Animal, the Jacqueline Castel-directed horror romance starring Bobbi Salvör Menuez and Amandla Stenberg, which premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. This year, she stepped out under her own name with a cover of Buzz Kull’s “Man On The Beat,” released digitally March 20 and issued as a limited 12-inch through Heartworm Press on April 17. The physical edition, released as Heartworm #140 in an edition of 500, pairs Matthews’ version with a Spike Hellis remix on the B-side.

Muller has continued to deepen his own work as a composer and producer. His score for My Animal, released by Sacred Bones, marked his debut feature film score and was written and recorded at his home studio in Northampton using hardware and analog synthesizers. He has also pursued Safe Mind, his collaborative project with Cooper B. Handy. The duo’s debut album, Cutting the Stone, arrived in 2025 through Nude Club, extending the chemistry first heard when Handy appeared on Boy Harsher’s The Runner soundtrack.

The biggest new chapter, however, is The Lonely Woman, Boy Harsher’s first feature film as directors. Written and directed by Matthews and Muller, the rural New England horror-thriller stars Chloë Sevigny, FKA twigs, Sturgill Simpson, Will Oldham, and Jake Weary, with Boy Harsher also providing the score.

The centerpiece of the fall trek lands on Halloween night, when Boy Harsher headlines Making Time Pure Halloween at Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia. The Oct. 31 All Hallows’ Eve event also features Model/Actriz live, Conducta, Marie Davidson on DJ duty, Kassie Krut live, and Dave P., plus a futuristic visual experience from Klip Collective.
