Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller, aka Boy Harsher, are back with a new single, “Jeans,” and it makes me want to go to the mall and do a makeover montage like in nearly every ’80s film. It’s a hairsprayed new wave track that reflects on giving up glam and rock ’n’ roll for small-town freedom.
“‘Jeans’ came from two distinct experiences between Gus and I,” Matthews shared in a press release. “I was living in a ‘small town,’ trying to understand my life and attempting to find freedom from the pressure of being ‘anyone.’ Meanwhile, Gus was chasing his aspirations in the Big Apple. We were both seeking our dreams in polar ways … and in this cheeky way, ‘Jeans’ speaks on that quest through our commodification of a dream.”
Check out the video, featuring Canadian tuxedos and black latex, directed by Boy Harsher, below.
