Hurts continues to give me what I want to hear. The title track, ‘Happiness’, from their upcoming LP has leaked on the interwebs. As expected it’s stunning.

Very much waiting with bated breath for this LP.
A video from Hurts, ‘Wonderful Life’, has just hit the interwebs. Simple and striking a beautiful meld of fashion, art and great filmmaking. Enjoy the new single, which gets official release on August 23.
So just a quick post, the day job has gotten decidedly crazy this week. But here is a new clip from the guys of Hurts. I won’t say too much other than these two are something special. I will let the hauntingly beautiful song speak for itself.
There is a reason BBC included the Manchester duo “Hurts” in its “Sound of 2010″. They are in short, quite brilliant. Their music is moody, melancholic, and elegant. They are quickly proving to be the rebirth of the darker side of 80′s electro-pop. The video for their latest single “Better Than Love” is a stand out in a field of uninspired music videos flooding the web and remnants of music television networks.
The single is out May 23rd, it is available for pre-purchase on the UK iTunes store, and will most likely be available for download from amazon.co.uk. To keep you content until then, click here.
