Sending out tape recorders to journalists, then sending
letters from Russia with old song lyrics along with laundry tickets so that
said journos could go and collect suave dinner jackets with their new logo on
the lapel – this pop duo are original and far from mundane.
When their first album Happiness was released in 2010, they
made quite a big impression – Europe especially. They’ve sold millions of their
records, been topped as the sound of 2010 poll and just were quite generally
sought after chaps, once they’d been let out into the mainstream media.
The band consists of vocalist Theo Hutchcraft and synthesist
Adam Anderson. They seem to work well together and can contribute to their sound
what the other cannot.
Bit cheeky, sexy-style, pop-sound with a VIP appearance from
Rhianna but still with Depeche-mode resonant lyrics – this is definitely a song
to enjoy – Hurt’s new single Miracle.
Exile - the new and second record release – will be out in
March this year and they’re next playing live this week Feb 07 at Heaven,
London.
