The latest single from Synth-pop duo; Hurts, conforms agreeably to their set of previous hits. 2011 has been a grand year for the band thus far, their debut album "Happiness" has reached a top 10 chart placing all over Europe, selling hundreds of thousands of copies and over one million singles worldwide.
Beginning with festive church bells, welcoming Theo Hutchcraft’s proficient, pop singing voice. Decorated with the band’s typical sullenness, not so typical of classic Christmas pop songs that we all secretly adore, yet matches the style of recent Christmas number one singles (apart from "Killing In The Name Of").
Either way, a fine modern festive hit, including the sort of pop that gains colossal commercial success, maintaining undertones of Mancunian indie melancholia. Atop a homage to the greatest time of the year.
Jonathan Hatchman.
