In its official promotional materials Shellac jokingly described this album as follows: "There are no 12-minute songs on this one. This record is more mean-spirited. Todd sings."
The cover is a clear homage to old Ampex audio recording tape boxes. The band are known for using analog tape for their recordings, and are fans of Ampex tape and tape recorders. The speech at the start of the record is a variation on the announcements one would hear on Magnetic Reference Laboratory's calibration tapes for analog tape recorders. The title refers to one-thousand Hertz (rendered 1000 Hz), a measure used in audio recording describing a sine wave cycling 1,000 times per second.
1000 Hurts was named Rockfeedbacks record of the decade, in 2009. Jehnny Beth of Savages named the album one of her biggest influences, saying that it had made her "want to be a bassist".
