Liverpool's prodigal sons Hot Club de Paris are returning next month with a new six-track EP.

'With Days Like This As Cheap As Chewing Gum, Why Would Anyone Want To Work?' - which takes its verbose name from a phrase by British poet Matthew Welton - will be available to download via Moshi Moshi Records on February 8th.

A super-limited hand-numbered 10” vinyl version of the EP will be released two weeks later.

The EP release coincides with Hot Club's February UK tour.

As if news of the first EP isn't enough, the band plan to release a second EP of the year - 'The Rise and Inevitable Fall of the High School Suicide Cluster Band' – in the early summer.
