Het uit Manchester afkomstige duo Hurts haalt de invloeden, niet als zoveel artiesten die met een retromerk van jaren 80-synthpop te koop lopen, alleen bij het gebruikelijke Depeche Mode en Pet Shop Boys. Hun debuutalbum, Happiness (2010), refereert ook aan de Gothic ballads van Sisters of Mercy (“Evelyn”), de opgepoetste elektro van A-Ha (“Better Than Love”), en zelfs de glossy new wave van Johnny Hates Jazz (“Blood, Tears and Gold”). Maar wat op papier niets meer dan een derivaat eerbetoon had kunnen worden, blijkt daarentegen één van de meest consistent, inventieve popalbums van 2010 te zijn. Op slimme wijze vermijdt Happiness om alleen maar na te bootsen, door de geraffineerde en grandioze productie die een moderne draai geeft aan het authentieke en genegen jaren 80-geluid.
