DOUBLE
NOTHING
The double-breasted renaissance continues apace: this
season, contemporary suits are about soft fabrics,
sharp cuts, muted colours - and, yes, lots of buttons.
Theo Hutchcraft, sinqer with platinum-selling synth-pop
duo Hurts, demonstrates how to hit the riqht notes
p .151
I o.id ' hyp.,-modm 'P"lmoot
in north London, Theo Hutchcraft, 26-year-old
Yorkshireman, contemplates the dramatic
glass walls. irs like Patrick Bateman's
house; he muses, American Psycho-chic
himself in a double-breasted Burberry suit.
1 feel l ike some sort of playboy, or
deranged serial killer. Which is good!"
It's a fitting fantasy for the sculpturally
handsome singer/songwri t er !li ke a
gangster Matt Goss from Brosi who fronts
Hurts, Manchester's gloom-pop f ashion
fiends, forever looming on-stage through
a moody matrix of slicing strobes. Stealthily,
Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson 128, synths].
have become two-million-albums-selling
successes. Clubbing mates, they formed Hurts
in 2009 f rom two previously failed troupes
!Bureau, Daggers] enduring miserable" years
of bedsit dole life, defiantly carrying on:
we had nothing else, so we couldn't fail."
Their debut album, 201D's glacial
Happiness, made them enormous throughout
Europe. So much so that Berlin's Weinmeister
Hotel invited them to design their very
own tribute suite, the tantalisingly t itled Hurts
Chamber, f eaturing huge black and white ~
Hurts portraits and leather curtains. They've 7
yet to sleep there. "I couldn't," cackles
Hutchcraft. "It would be like some insane
narcissi sm den of creepiness."
In a world of fol k- rock, banjos and beards,
theirs is an unapologetic style-pop ethos;
a stipulation of their deal with Sony was that
they gave them new suits and combs. In the
dole years beforehand, they'd travel to London
on the 12 Mega bus, overnight, carrying
charity shop suits in pl astic bags, for
a Superman-style transformation.
"We'd put them on in the disabled toi lets
at Victoria Coach Station, with a clean white
shirt," smiles Hutchcraft. "I j ust always
wanted to live in a film. It's pop music isn't it?
It's showbiz!"
Today, their lives are as wide-screen as
their music, second album Exile as grandi ose
as a synth-pop Muse, a sonic reflect ion of
their new position as bans viveurs hanging
out with Elton, drinking t ill Sam with Noel
Gallagher ["Noel taught me a l ot, but it's secret
knowledge"), throwing arch-pop shapes in
high-gl am clubs and carousing in cars full
of women. Last year, as the hedonism peaked,
there were shows they can't remember
playing, "blackouts, literally", and protracted
states of "insanity, like being kicked off a hill
in a snowball".
Hutchcraft is now single-handedly
re-hoisting the flag for the tragically
endangered international playboy [his
girlfriends include Alexa Chung and burlesque
temptress Oita Von Teesel. "It's a heavy flag
to carry," he lies. "We like to have fun . It's too
hard to resist." Sylvia Patterson
Hurts' album Exile (Sony/Major Label) is out now
