Hurts have announced the release of their third studio album ‘Surrender‘, to be released on 9th October through Columbia Records. Their new single ‘Some Kind of Heaven‘ is available on iTunes now and impacts on 31st July.
The recently revealed single, ‘Some Kind of Heaven’, is the first taste of the band’s forthcoming new album, setting the stage with a succinct yet profound insight into ‘Surrender‘. Hurts began work on the album immediately following their sell out 2013 tour and continued writing and recording throughout 2014 across the globe including Ibiza, New York, Montreux, Sweden, L.A and the Swiss Alps. The band have continued to work alongside Swedish producer Jonas Quant on the new record, whilst also joining forces with esteemed, Grammy Award winning producers Stuart Price (Madonna, The Killers), Ariel Rechtshaid (Haim, Vampire Weekend) to sculpt the sound of their much anticipated third album.
Hurts’ return after two years follows the release of their top 10 sophomore album, “Exile” and No. 1 single, “Under Control” with Calvin Harris and Alesso. Since the band entered the UK album charts in 2010 they’ve sold over 1.2 million albums and3 million singles worldwide, as well as over 250,000 tickets across their sold out tours. Hurts are certified Gold in the UK and Austria, 2 x Platinum in Germany and Finland, and Platinum in Poland, Switzerland and Russia.
In preparation for the album launch, Hurts will be performing two intimate shows for a handful of fans this week. The band will be taking to the stage at The Scala in London and The Lido in Berlin, to perform a mix of old and new tracks for the lucky competition winners.
