 UK band The Hours are Antony Genn and Martin Slattery. Between them, they have worked with three of the greatest British poets and front men of all time: Joe Strummer, Shaun Ryder and Jarvis Cocker. Individually, in their illustrious past, have toured with Elastica and Black Grape; produced sessions for UNKLE and Grace Jones and worked alongside the likes of Brian Eno. Recently, they performed at The Red Auction at Sotheby’s in New York City, closing their set with a special appearance from U2’s Bono.
The Hours released their stunning debut, Narcissus Road in the UK on A&M Records in February of 2007. The album was described by the London Sunday Times Culture as “A deep, dark, disturbing beauty of a debut album, stalked by Scott Walker, Radiohead, The Blue Nile and Gang of Four”. The album artwork was created by long time friend and champion, Damien Hirst: a painting of a skull, with clocks for the eyes and one of Hirst’s spin paintings in the background.
Fast forward to 2008 – The Hours are now a seven-piece band with Genn and Slattery at the helm. The "See The Light" single, which features remixes by Calvin Harris and Dekker and Johan, will be released via digital download and on limited edition 12" gate-fold vinyl designed by Damien Hirst on December 8. The band is locked away in the studio, recording their second album to be released in the UK in early 2009 with producer Flood (U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Sigur Ros and Goldfrapp).

We are very excited to announce our new video for ‘See The Light’. It was directed by the ‘Legendary’ Mr Tony Kaye (American History X, Johnny Cash’s ‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down’) and stars one of Britain’s finest, Sienna Miller. We hope you’ll agree that it’s not just another ‘pop video’, as we’re not just another ‘pop’ band. -- The Hours
