Rising pop sensations Say Lou Lou have praised Hurts' success in Europe, saying that they hope they can 'transcend' in the same way as the UK synth stars.
The Swedish/Australian sister duo supported Hurts on a string of live dates in 2013, with Hutchcraft referring to the pair as a 'very special' band in an interview with Gigwise. Now, Say Lou Lou have spoken of their admiration for Hurts success across Europe and beyond.
"They have really made it in certain parts of Europe," says singer Elektra Kilbey in an interview with Gigwise. "Making it in Germany, Eastern Europe and Russia is really important. They have managed to do that, and I don't think many artists from the UK can do that and I think Hurts' music is a bit more international. Hopefully we can transcend to the same sort of thing."
"In some ways we're similar and in others we are very different," added sister Miranda.

"A band we love so much that are playing some shows with us are Say Lou Lou – they’re just fantastic," said Theo from Hurts in 2013. "From the first time I heard them with no image or knowledge of the band, I just knew that they were something special.
"There’s also a kinship in the way that we think about and approach music in them that I think is great. They’re a very special entity and every song that they put out is brilliant."
