The Candle Thieves are a weird and whimsical pop duo equipped with toy instruments. The pair’s happy-go-lucky sound appears jubilant on the surface, but their penchant for melancholy is clearly reflected in their songwriting.

Sugar-coated nightmares and acute anxieties formed the basis for the ‘Sunshine and Other Misfortunes’ album campaign. Playful, brightly coloured artwork depicts an apocalyptic world. Monsters occupy ruinous landscapes inspired by the art of shadow play.
