"Continuing their string of standout singles since the release of their six-song EP Risen back in the fall, the LA dark pop duo has successfully served up an alt-pop gem here"
V13

"L.A. dark-pop duo Boy Deluxe make music that alternately soothes and provokes, working on the fringes of synth-punk, experimental electronica and EBM to illuminate what lurks in the shadows."
Buzzbands.LA

"Letting their emotions and intuition be their guide with their latest music, electronica band Boy Deluxe is the gift that keeps on giving."
Playground UK

"Boy Deluxe‘s new EP Risen transports the listener to smoky underground clubs and red tinged lounges. Places filled with seedy characters and strangers who offer adventure that will either lead you to ruin or to rise."

Alt Citizen

"The duo infuse the intricately layered offering with self-confidence and empowerment as they delve into the tense, foreboding vibes of their signature electro-tinged dark pop sound."
EARMILK

"The clip matches the vibe of the hypnotic track perfectly and the hooks and beats will be stuck in your ears."
Ghost Cult

"Consider it shock therapy if you’re stuck in a comfort zone, a shot of adrenaline if you’re mired in a stupor."
Today, LA-based dark pop duo Boy Deluxe (Hope and True Murra) return with a brand new music video for last year's single "Left Behind." The track is a moody, mid-tempo electronic ballad that examines the complex emotions of feeling special yet overlooked. Originally written on a Fender Rhodes, it came to life with True’s signature production and Hope’s brooding vocals. 

Of "Left Behind," Hope wrote: "The song's haunting synths, shimmering soundscapes, and introspective lyrics paint a vivid picture of the struggle to find one's place in a world that often overlooks what makes us special.  'Left Behind' conveys a sense of hope and resilience, reminding listeners to never give up on the pursuit of their true selves. 'Left Behind' is a powerful meditation on the beauty of individuality and the strength it takes to shine in a world that often fails to see our true worth."

In 2021, Boy Deluxe shared an EP titled RISEN. Suddenly finding themselves in the midst of chaos and change, the band's best way of coping with the world around them was by writing and creating. From the deep pain of personal loss to the daily stress of survival, Boy Deluxe transmuted a year and half of grief into their best work yet. From reflections on ending a relationship ("All Out"), to commentary on the rampant greed in our society ("Silver Silver"), to a story of women going to New York City to get branded and initiated into a secret cult ("Cult Status"), and an anthem on personal power ("Im the Blood"), RISEN encompasses the duo's experience in unprecedented times.

Speaking on the EP, Hope said: "The songs on RISEN are a reflection of the grief, loss, and outrage felt during the pandemic, but they're also songs about finding yourself, hope, and rebirth."

Boy Deluxe is due to release more new music this year.
