Hurts新单曲，将Blood, Tears & Gold重新演绎~

3月即将发行的二专《Exile》首单

来自曼彻斯特的HURTS，主音THEO HUTCHCRAFT和负责SYNTHESIZER部分的ADAM ANDERSON以一丝不苟的西装、贴服光滑的发型，八十年代般官仔骨骨的示人。
签入RCA Records旗下后，Hurts顺利推出首张大碟《Happiness》，其中序幕曲〈Silver Lining〉，挟带大量电子线条来回穿绕，一种冷酷的氛围冻结四周空气，搭配Theo不过分的真假音漂亮转换，唯美动听的令人爱不释手，最后倒灌哥德式音场作结尾，有股不寒而栗之感；登记德国亚军+奥地利Top7+丹麦NO.8的〈Wonderful Life〉，将时空拉回80年代Synth-Pop荣景，其中拼贴Upbeat Dance+Pop+Disco元素的Disco Lento风格，更是充分运用于曲目里头；刻画凄美爱恋图像的〈Blood, Tears & Gold〉，似乎琴键每弹一音，心就跟着纠结更为紧绷，呈现一支催泪指数满点的歌谣；第一波主打〈Better Than Love〉，鲜明的节拍不断敲打，激发听众随乐摇摆的欲望，已抢先占据英国舞曲榜第6名位置；略带深沉的〈Devotion〉，除了包裹Hurts拿手的晦暗频率外，特别邀请性感女神Kylie Minogue助唱，收起娇甜的演绎方式，散发个性冷调声韵.
小心，他们的音乐会催人落泪、他们的声音会痛彻心扉，他们无心伤人，却又难逃陷入无法自拔的悲痛漩涡里头，他们是Hurts乐团，载乘复数的伤感因子，搭配冰冷的电子音场，同时贴附曼彻斯特摇滚风采，BBC抢先将尚未发行任何单曲的Hurts选入「2010年最受注目的新声音(Sound of 2010)」名单第四名、Guardian钦点「年度最佳乐队」，英国传媒更称之为「忧郁流行乐 (Gloom Pop)」。

Hurts' stunningly beautiful "Wonderful Life" was first released back in April but it is finally get some traction among pop aficionados everywhere. Hurts is the British pop duo of Theo Hutchcraft (vocals) and Adam Anderson (synths/guitar).
Together they put out a retro-styled pop sound that is drenched in '80s new wave and romanticism. It's that kind of sweet and crunchy pop that takes you right back to '80s pop glory with bands like Ultravox, ABC and Human League.
Biff Stannard (Kylie, Little Boots) recognized the duo's talent and signed Hurts to his Major Label label that is distributed by Sony Music. No indie route for Hurts. Hutchcraft and Anderson skip the line and go straight for the big time.
