Exile - CD

Hurts: Exile version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe and UK in publishing company Major Label (4) on 19. March 2013.

Hurts are Theo Hutchcraft (vocals) and Adam Anderson (electronics, guitar). The two seem to have just stepped out of an existentialist Nouvelle Vague film. With their precisely parted hair and classic suits, Hurts resemble the protagonists of cinematic masterpieces from Antonioni to Godard. Their charming, sombre synth-pop and lyrics like "Never give up it's such a wonderful life", which Theo Hutchcraft utters with a sad stare into the void, take us back to a time when stylish posing was part of good manners. After the albums Echo, Bambi and various gold and platinum awards in Germany for the album "Happiness" and the two singles "Wonderful Life" and "Stay", Hurts is back. With the first single "Miracle" from their second album "Exile", the duo from Manchester proves that 2013 will also be the year in which good style and hauntingly beautiful pop will take its place in the charts. If there was anything missing in 2012, it was definitely these two guys. And no, it's not too presumptuous to say that the Hurts were and are the great hope of 21st century pop music.

Album spans genres Pop, Electronic and Synth-pop.
