“The new album was a joy to make. More so than any other The Pineapple Thief album before it. Everything came together so effortlessly and I think this comes across when you hear the record.” Bruce Soord (Mastermind von The Pineapple Thief, Songwriter, Produzent, Wisdom Of Crowds mit Katatonia’s Jonas Renkse, Katatonia - Gitarrist auf der Akustik Tour 2014, 5.1 Remixes für Opeth, TesseracT, Tim Bowness und Katatonia.

12.08. THE PINEAPPLE THIEF - "Your Wilderness" (Kscope/Edel)
After the worldwide acclaim generated by the 2014 anthemic rock release Magnolia, The Pineapple Thief returns with its most ambitious studio album to date, Your Wilderness on 12th August (19th August in France).
Your Wilderness, their 11th studio album, showcases the band performing without any inhibitions providing a springboard for the ongoing creative growth of The Pineapple Thief.
For the first time, The Pineapple Thief has brought in several special guest performers. “Since our last album Magnolia, the most eye catching change is obviously having Gavin Harrison contribute drums throughout the album” explains Bruce Soord. “This has not only redefined our sound but also redefined how we approached the songs as a band. Gavin's drumming is technically brilliant but also incredibly musical, and it inspired all of us to raise our game. I've also rediscovered my progressive roots in terms of song-writing and arrangement. Added to that, we were lucky enough to have John Helliwell from Supertramp contribute some beautiful clarinet parts and Geoffrey Richardson (Caravan) provided a string quartet. We were also joined by a lovely 4 piece choir and to cap it all off, my friend Darran Charles (Godsticks) added some jaw dropping guitar playing... You've never heard a The Pineapple Thief album like this one! I am convinced people will love this record as much as we do.”
Carl's thought provoking collection of photographs perfectly compliment the concept of the album, something which Soord is tight lipped about. “It should reveal itself to the listener and be open to interpretation. I don’t want what it means to me to influence how it affects you”.
Your Wilderness was recorded entirely by the band with the exception of the drums, which Gavin Harrison produced & engineered at his own studio. The string quartet which was recorded at Geoffrey’s own studio in Canterbury. The album was mixed and produced by Bruce Soord and Steve Kitch with mastering duties also carried out by Steve. There will be a special lossless 5.1 surround mix available with the special edition mixed by Bruce.
Seen as one of the most vital rock bands the UK has produced over the last two decades, The Pineapple Thief was formed in 1999 by founder and chief songwriter Bruce Soord. The band has steadily evolved and refined it’s sound with the bass playing of Jon Sykes and the production and keyboards of Steve Kitch now so integral to the sound. “After so many years, The Pineapple Thief has become way bigger than the sum of it’s parts.” explains Soord.
Bruce Soord has also collaborated with the likes of Wisdom Of Crowds (with Katatonia’s Jonas Renkse), Katatonia (joining the band on its 2014 acoustic European tour), and has created 5.1 remixes for artists such as Opeth, TesseracT, Tim Bowness and Katatonia. Soord also released his debut self titled debut solo album through Kscope in 2015.
The Pineapple Thief is currently booking a European tour for late 2016 and planning live shows in USA / Canada
Your Wilderness will be released by Kscope on CD, LP, digitally and as a special deluxe ‘hardbook’.

Pressestimmen zu "Magnolia" 2014:
HiFi Stars: "…können mit diesem Album nur gewinnen…. Die Wiederholungstaste am CD-Spieler ist gedrückt!"
eclipsed: "…setzt der Songschreiber, Sänger und Gitarrist diese traurigen Themen in zutiefst melancholische musikalische Dramen um, die alle Formate vom Kammerspiel bis zum ganz großen Kino abdecken."
Classic Rock: "...irgendwie fühlt man sich auf MAGNOLIA an Pink Floyd erinnert: das psychedelische Cover-Artwork, der melancholische Grundansatz der Songs, die handwerkliche Klasse aller Beteiligten, der Mut zum Außergewöhnlichen."
Westzeit: "Ohne Schwachpunkt wurden 12 Perlen auf das neue Album gepackt. Magnolia macht einfach Spaß!"
Guitar 4/5: "Endlich gibt es nicht nur tolle Klanglandschaften, sondern auch tolle Melodien zu bestaunen."
Good Times: "Denn dann, wenn es darauf ankommt, können The Pineapple Thief immer noch mit brachialer Härte agieren, lassen harte Riffgewitter und pure Heavy-Metal-Power einziehen – nur um kurz darauf noch zerbrechlicher, noch filigraner ans Werk zu gehen.
Stereoplay: "Hörer sollten wetterfest ausgerüstet sein, wenn sie sich die orkanartigen Breitwand-Rockbrisen reinziehen, die Songwriter und Gitarrist Bruce Soord mit seinem dramatischen Gesang noch befeuert."
Musicheadquarter.de: "…ordentlich viele Rocksongs, die durch Dynamik und Einfallsreichtum, aber auch epische Momente zum Träumen glänzen."
Deaf Forever 9/10: "Wahrhaftig und emotionsgeladen entfalten sich auf Magnolia musikalische Knospen feierlich zu herrlichen Blüten überbordender Schönheit."
Rock Hard 8/10: "…beachtlicher Tiefgang. Bisher das beste Werk der Briten."
Sonic Seducer: "Nachdenkliche perfekt inszenierte Melancholie."
Slam 8/10: "Musikalisch ist die Platte die volle Dreiviertelstunde ein Fest für Progfreunde…"
Visions: "...brillante Songwriter am Werk...."
Wesermarsch am Sonntag: "Musik die weder beim ersten Mal eingängig, noch beim zehnten Hören langweilig wird."
Metal Hammer: " Die Wahrheit von MAGNOLIA liegt also in der Mitte zwischen Sturm und Leiden, zwischen Rock und Emotion – das alles homogen im Blumenmeer des Coverartworks eingebettet."
