Boy Harsher - The Runner (Original Soundtrack)

A tense and atmospheric soundtrack release, The Runner extends Boy Harsher’s darkwave aesthetic into a cinematic context, emphasizing mood, pacing, and unease.

Composed for the short film The Runner, the album reflects the duo’s growing interest in narrative and visual accompaniment, translating their established sound into a score-driven framework. Rather than functioning as a conventional studio album, it operates as a mood piece, designed to support tension and emotional drift on screen.

The soundtrack format allows for a more spacious and deliberate approach, incorporating instrumental passages and restrained motifs alongside familiar rhythmic elements. Synth textures are sparse and foreboding, with repetition and subtle variation reinforcing the film’s sense of isolation and pursuit.

Recommended for listeners interested in darkwave-adjacent soundtracks, cinematic electronic music, and Boy Harsher’s work beyond traditional album structures.
