The Candle Thieves - Breathing (Just For You), out March 21st

The Candle Thieves are back this month with Breathing (Just For You), their new single on Carnival Town Records. It's a lead-in to the expected summer debut album and a follow-on from first single We're All Gonna Die (Have Fun) and EP Sunshine And Other Misfortunes.

I'm detecting traces of Eels (Mr. E's Beautiful Blues) influencing the backing music and a span-the-gap approach to 'proper' music with what can only be described as an 'infectious' pop sound. It's not quite mass-market, but it does more than just fill a niche.

You'll be glad to hear that you can make up your own mind on this one, as the video below gives you a pre-release sneak preview at the track - and thanks to it being on Sunshine And Other Misfortunes, iTunes customers can technically get their hands on the EP version of the track already...
