The Pineapple Thief 8days Later

The progressive rockers who emerged in the '90s and 2000s ranged from time-warped artists who faithfully emulated the prog explorers of the '60s and '70s to artists who combined prog rock with '90s/2000s alternative rock and were not oblivious to life in a post-Nevermind world. This best-of collection, which spans 1999-2008, makes it clear that the Pineapple Thief falls into the latter category; founder/leader Bruce Soord appreciates Pink Floyd's classic '70s albums, but the fact that he enjoys Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon doesn't make him any less appreciative of Nirvana, Radiohead, or melodic industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails…

Dissolution was the follow-up album to 2016's Your Wilderness, and was the band’s second album to feature King Crimson and Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison, spurring The Pineapple Thief on as leaders of Europe’s experimental rock domain. Their efforts on Your Wilderness produced 4m+ album streams, a #7 in the UK Independent Charts and two extensive headline European tours culminating at London’s Islington Assembly Hall where the concert was recorded for the live release Where We Stood.
The new material established The Pineapple Thief's intent to elevate themselves to new heights, with a desire to develop their songwriting and technical capabilities, and with artwork created by iconic design agency Stylorouge, whose previous work includes Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Blur and British film Trainspotting…

The record took shape slowly but surely as the band meticulously perfected their sound. Often guarded, ‘It Leads To This’ keeps its ace in the pack up its sleeve, biding its time until all the right pieces fall in place, giving way to a beautiful, cinematic experience on every track. Conceptually the record is Soord’s efforts to better understand himself & the world around him. Opening with the coy melodies of ‘Put It Right’ before moving into the metallic groove of ‘Rubicon’, the album builds to the heart of the record with the epic title track, the cathartic ‘The Frost’, followed by an introspective ‘All That’s Left’. The ominous ‘Now It’s Yours’ and ‘Every Trace Of Us’ keep the foreboding atmosphere topped up whilst delivering The Pineapple Thief’s signature dynamism, closing the record with the haunting ‘To Forget’.

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the Prog band's 2008 album. The last few years have seen the Pineapple Thief truly emerge onto a higher stage… bigger and better tours, triumphant festival slots, recording at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios, artwork designed by Storm Thorgerson and new management all give the sense of an act destined for greater things. In association with the Kscope fifth anniversary celebrations, this edition of 2008's Tightly Unwound - the first ever album release on Kscope - has been newly re-mastered and remixed by 360 in London. It will also now feature a bonus disc with tracks from the Dawn Raids EPs plus and acoustic version of 'Shoot First'.

Remixed & Remastered. The Pineapple Thief have often been slated for taking a heavy amount of influence from Porcupine Tree, another British prog band operating around the same time, however a little research reveals that Bruce Soord (Thief's lead vocalist and songwriter) was entirely unaware of Porcupine Tree until Steven Wilson contacted him in question of how similar their sounds were (the two became friends and Wilson helped bring the band onto the Kscope label, a huge step up from Cyclops). This album then, is a natural progression for the band and is what they had been working towards all that time since their inception in 1999…

Over the course of 11 previous albums, The Pineapple Thief have established a body of work that straddles the line between stirring, accessible indie rock and musically adventurous prog. Led by chief songwriter/guitarist/frontman Bruce Soord, TPT almost always work conceptually, framing albums in thematically linked compositions that never fall prey to excess or reckless self-indulgence…

Over the last half-decade, The Pineapple Thief - led by musical polymath Bruce Soord and bolstered by the involvement of master drummer Gavin Harrison - has rapidly ascended to the upper echelons of Europe’s Alternative Rock scene.

The Pineapple Thief, one of the leading lights of Europe’s experimental rock domain, led by post-progressive mastermind Bruce Soord and reinforced by Gavin Harrison (King Crimson) on drums, have announced the multi format release of “Nothing But The Truth” on Kscope on 22nd October…

"What We Have Sown" is the sixth album by The Pineapple Thief. The music of "What We Have Sown" perfectly fits the windswept and bleak, yet lush and sunny environment of south-west England captured in the artwork, making for a bracing experience, picturing yourself drifting through that very landscape.
