HURTS

Hurts are a Manchester based synthpop duo that recently rocketed to the top of the UK scene. They combine melancholy tones with almost eerie sounding vocals, over a strong electronic base and they do it better than anyone else. Their music almost asks to be remixed and you should take a listen to their sound. 

When you think of a break-up song, you probably think of a Death Cab for Cutie or similarly sounding slow, sad song that echoes that break up mood. This here is a very different take on a break up song, effectively allowing you to either sit there and sulk or get up and dance. Sounds good to me. 

Hurts - Stay (Millions Like Us Remix)

HURTS - Stay (Millions Like Us Remix)

This remix is of the band's second single, and its got that 90's pop vibe to it. 

Hurts - Better Than Love (LightsoverLA Remix)

Hurts - Wonderful Life (Arthur Baker Official Remix)

The original single still deserves mention simply because its so good: Hurts - Wonderful Life

The picture above is a still from the video for this track; its a creative video to say the least.
