Listen of the Day!

OK, so we all know the 80's are back, right? I don't have a pair of turquoise jeans in my closet for nothing. Today's listen is from the band Hurts, a shoe-gaze 80's sounding synth pop group from the UK. They kinda sound like the love child of Annie Lennox and Depeche Mode (if Annie was a woman of course). They come across quite avant-garde, dark and tragic, but their music has some great pop hooks! Enjoy!
