Hurts have revealed their dazzling disco visuals for recent funk opus "Lights".
Dawn Shadforth (Bjork, Florence and The Machine) has directed the video - the second time Shadforth's worked with Hurts, after their collaboration on "Wonderful Life" all those years ago. Theo Hutchcraft, seemingly sozzled, is garbed up like a matador and strutting around with glass-eyed swagger, cavorting with his equally lithe lover. It's actually quite sweet, if a tad bloody.
Surrender is released 9 October via Columbia.
