The Pineapple Thief

Post by Nick »

Fletch is really the expert on this band but I just caught wind of some news so I thought I'd post it.

All The Wars, the new album from The Pineapple Thief, will be released on Kscope on September 3rd.

The album is the latest step for the band who over the last few years have truly emerged 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 act who are destined for greater things.

Much of this is down to the band’s 2010 album, Someone Here Is Missing, and the reaction it received. While this release, along with 2008’s Tightly Unwound, was many people’s introduction to the band they have actually spent the past ten years quietly building up a dedicated fan base across the globe, selling over 50,000 records and nurturing their ‘bittersweet’ progressive sound.

All The Wars marks another leap in the band’s progression, as frontman Bruce Soord continues to mature as a songwriter and the band’s ever growing confidence and status allows them to move in bold musical directions, including the use of a 22-piece string section and a choir. Soord explains, ‘no expense has been spared regarding the production of this record but at its heart it’s still a rock record. It’s very heavy in parts and very delicate and beautiful in others.’

Following Storm Thorgerson's cover for Someone Here Is Missing, the artwork for this album features images created by the award winning photographer Mark Mawson as part of his Aqueous series. Shots from the Aqueous project were recently projected onto Buckingham Palace as the background to Paul McCartney's performance of Magical Mystery Tour during the diamond jubilee celebrations.

The Limited 2CD digibook edition with bonus disc featuring exclusive acoustic versions of tracks from the album plus a 2012 version of ‘Light Up Your Eyes’.

TRACKLIST:

I do own their two previous albums, Someone Here Is Missing and Tightly Unwound, the first being my preference but both being very good. This band combines a few interesting elements together, there's some progressive rock, some electronic stuff, some great hooks and swelling crescendos, very interesting stuff.

Wow, you do love 'em. I'm intrigued by the new song. I like the string and chorus stuff they're doing. It would be very interesting to hear if they can combine that with their electronic stuff.

Hmm, some interesting stuff. I really liked the string and chorus parts of Last Man Standing but the other parts didn't so much for me.
