Get Mean, the new LP by Boy Harsher, is up for discussion on this week’s episode. We’re talking about the record’s shift away from the oft-imitated sound pioneered by the duo, its releases on a major label, and the new metrics by which its sound and songwriting need to be evaluated.

I pretty much agree – not bad at all, but too easy to drift off as it plays in the background. Maybe their (relationship) breakup make them slightly sunnier!
A throughline to this album, especially with a song like “Jeans”, would be last year’s Safe Mind album, which was a collab between Augustus and Cooper B. Handy. It is more enjoyable than Get Mean, but certainly should’ve presaged this shift.
Left the comment mid-podcast. Guess you addressed Safe Mind. What I get for jumping the gun, eh? NM
