They have received support from BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, and from Jarvis Cocker who said "They understand what music is for—it's for human beings to communicate with other human beings. It's that simple, it's that important. Let them into your life. You won't regret it."[citation needed]
Their single "Ali in the Jungle" is featured in the EA Sports FIFA '08 football game, '2K Sports NBA 2K13' and is the song that snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan entered to in all his matches at the 2010 Wembley Masters during his run to the final.[2] "People Say" has twice been used in the opening scenes of Britishsoap operaHollyoaks.
Their second album, entitled See the Light, was released on 20 April 2009, and was produced by Flood (U2, Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins). It was preceded by the single "Big Black Hole" on 6 April that year.
The Hours were the support act for U2 on their 360 Tour in 2009.
Their song "Ali in the Jungle" is the soundtrack to the Nike short film Human Chain, which debuted as an advertisement during the 2010 Winter Olympics. They released an EP with "Ali In The Jungle" through Hickory Records.
