Electro-duo Hurts have revealed that they have started working on a new record and they're excited about their new musical direction.

They recently spoke to GigWise about their forthcoming new album and explained that they can afford to experiment a little more now that they've established themselves. Theo Hutchcraft said: "For us, it's always really exciting because we never really know where we're going. I guess we make pop music, but there are lots of different forms that it can take and we never really know where it's going to until we start making music". 

"We've started writing songs, but there's a variety of paths that we can go down. We always try to make an album that covers all points of interest and I think that we're developing."

He added: "Doing these two records and pushing it to the extreme in a pop sense with a song like 'Stay' and then turning around and doing the opposite, we now know the boundaries in which we exist. It's definitely not going to be a long a wait this time, we want to keep working. The gap between albums last time was two and a half years, which was because we got swept up in it and had no time, but now we're constantly making music and new things for the next record."
