Manchester, England duo Hurts follow up the androgynous video for “Better Than Love” with news that they’ll be releasing their debut LP Happiness in the UK on September 6. Earlier this year the pair—Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson—were singled out by the BBC as one of the Sounds of 2010, and now PopJustice promises that this is “one of the albums of the year.” Head below to see the full cover and tracklist for what looks to be one moody synthpop trip.
