The Candle Thieves are releasing their EP “Happiness Blues” via Carnival Town Records on September 13th.

The perky Peterborough duo of Scott McEwan and Glockenshiels return with an EP of new material this Summer, quickly following the release of their acoustic-pop debut LP earlier this year.

Having spent the majority of this year setting up their colourful toytown instrumentation at fans’ local pubs, living-rooms, kitchens and back-gardens. The band went on to high-profile US support slots for The Scissor Sisters, David Gray and curiously, My Chemical Romance.

The Candle Thieves then entered their bedroom studio to develop new song ideas written on the road. The resulting EP is another fine example of what transfixed so many upon their introduction at the turn of the year.

The EP’s Tracklisting is as follows;

The Sunshine Song
Annabelle’s Song
Paper Aeroplane
Balloon #2
