It was released on 8 March 2013 by Major Label. The album was produced by Hurts, along with —with whom the duo worked on their debut album, (2010)—and. ' was released on 11 January 2013 as the lead single from the album, followed by ' on 10 May 2013 and ' on 21 July 2013.

Upon release, the album debuted at number nine on the, while charting inside the top 10 in eight other countries. Contents. Background The album's title was revealed in December 2012, followed by the track listing and artwork in January and February 2013, respectively. Hurts singer came up with the title while sitting in a bar in; he glimpsed it on a scrolling billboard, and it was the only word he could understand.

'That sense of being in a weird place. Freedom, fear, isolation, joy, religion, punishment, the decadence that comes with exile—always being on tour, always far away from home. It did feel like we were on the run, always chasing something'.

Hutchcraft read 's 2006 apocalyptic novel three times while writing the album, which was recorded from January to June 2012. Speaking to about Exile, he said: 'We had to push ourselves and express the more intense, darker side which lies at the heart of our music. The first record was mainly about love and loss. This is a record about sex and death.

The whole process was one of the heaviest and most extreme experiences we've had, but now we're on the outside looking in, it feels like we've made something truly unique and special.' Composition Compared to Hurts' debut album, Exile incorporates more orchestral and instrumentation, while retaining the duo's core and influences. According to Matt Collar of, the album 'updates their '80s electronic sound with a sparkling, sheen that weaves in orchestral sections, choirs of backing vocals, and even some swaggering guitar attitude.' The album's lyrical themes include sadism, possessiveness and. The album's second track, ', employs an anthemic chorus and a -esque backdrop of stadium guitars and synths.

Adam Anderson described it as the most effortless song the duo have ever done, and compared writing it to the creation of ' from Happiness. Critics compared 'Miracle' to, as well as 's songs ' and '. 'Sandman' has an R&B feel to it; according to Hutchcraft, the duo aimed to 'make a song that sounded like, but as a pop song.' The song was described as 'a mechanical krautrocky dirge with a pop heart', while its child choir was branded 'creepy' and 'cloying' by critics.

Inspired by 's 2006 and 's 1973 novel, 'The Road' is about a car accident. 'We tried to write the darkest song we could', says Hutchcraft. 'We thought 'How bleak can we make it?'

' He explained, 'We wanted people to hear 'The Road' first because it's the most extreme example of the idea on the record.' Closing track 'Help' features on piano. Hutchcraft told, 'It was one of the greatest days of my life—for real. Watching Elton John play the piano on a song we wrote? I was speechless for weeks afterwards.

To record 'Help', the duo enlisted a choir made up of fans from around the world. 'They were all brilliant', Hutchcraft said. 'It was such a powerful thing, watching them. So emotional. To hear a mass of people singing 'I just need some help'. It was heartbreaking.'

Release and promotion Promotion for Exile started with a two-minute mini-promo for 'The Road' directed by Nez Khammal, which was unveiled on 14 December 2012. Conceptually, the video takes the viewer on a journey of the life of Hurts members Hutchcraft and Anderson.

Of wrote that ' Exile employs greater variety than Happiness, from acoustic piano to—shock—what sounds like electric guitar, but without sacrificing any of the grandeur. It's often reminiscent of or late 1980s. It's on close personal terms with magnificence.' Editor Matt Collar viewed the album as a 'bigger, brasher, even more passionate version of the cinematic feel heard on Happiness', adding that 'what's clear about Hurts on Exile is how skilled Hutchcraft and Anderson are at seamlessly incorporating their influences, so you can hear the bands' inspirations in every line even as you marvel that this album is like nothing you've heard before.' Dan Martin of compared Exile to 's album and stated that, 'by hooking their comeback on Exile 's lead single 'Miracle', Hurts reminded everyone just how bloody fantastic they were at writing anthemic songs.' Gareth Ware of expressed that the album 'cements the duo's place as mainstream pop's most daring and ambitious offering. While the relentless realisation of their film-ready stylings may not be to everyone's tastes, the fact they're here at all in the first place is a cause worth celebrating in itself.'

's Caroline Sullivan commented that 'though the duo now incorporate spasms of grotty, guitar., Exile is still defined by its synth-pop froideur', noting that Hurts have 'a gift for striding, anthemic choruses that turn even the most overwrought songs into unshakeable earworms.' Chris Saunders of complimented Hurts for 'making stadium sized pop music with a darker underbelly, without forcing it, in the same black vein as Depeche Mode', while remarking, ' Exile isn't a bad album, and Hurts do what they do well. Yet Exile is found wanting when they try too much to be the stadium band rather than allowing the drama to play out.' Tom Hocknell of opined that, although Exile 'occasionally takes itself so seriously that it's hard not to smirk', the album 'genuinely builds upon its predecessor' and 'reinforces the feeling in modern pop that no other group sounds quite as hurt as Hurts.' 's Hermione Hoby faulted the album for lacking a 'killer single' and wrote, 'It's all laid on thick—the violins, the choir-sung, stadium-friendly choruses—but the songwriting isn't sturdy enough to hold it all up.' In a review for, Maria Schurr characterised the duo as 'style over substance' and found that musically, the album is 'rarely memorable enough'. Schurr continued, 'No matter how many dark subjects are nested throughout, too often the music on Exile falls back into the same old tricks of bells-and-whistles pop choruses and obvious hooks.'

's Oliver Keens felt that the album's 'poppy moments have become as lazy and humdrum as 'Sandman', concluding that 'too often the desire to directly rival Muse or makes Hurts sound lost and featherweight in comparison.' John Freeman of stated the album 'starts brightly', but critiqued that tracks like 'Blind', 'Sandman' and 'The Rope' 'reduce Exile to a chilling example of naked ambition prioritising production style over songwriting substance.' Commercial performance Exile debuted at number nine on the, selling 12,124 copies in its first week. Track listing All tracks written by, except where noted.
