Boy Harsher released “Jeans,” their first original track since 2022, marking a stylistic shift toward guitar-driven post-punk. The song features Gus Muller on a bouncy guitar riff with steel-slide western elements, while Jae Matthews delivers sultry vocals reminiscent of The Pretenders. Lyrically addressing dual experiences of seeking freedom—Matthews in a small town, Muller pursuing ambitions in New York—the track explores how dreams become commodified. The accompanying video, directed by the band and filmed by Owen Smith-Clark, features pink-haired performer Ella line-dancing with latex-clad dancers in a sparse, fluorescent-lit space, intercut with close-ups of textures and television monitor footage. The release follows the announcement of The Heartbreak Tour, positioning “Jeans” as a bold artistic re-entry blending darkwave sensibilities with new-wave pop energy.
