All credit for the music goes to AAL of course. Such a talented bunch of dudes!

TESSERACT REVEAL COLLABORATION WITH MARTIN GRECH
 
U.K.'s premier progressive act TesseracT have revealed that singer, songwriter Martin Grech will make a guest appearance on their new album ‘Polaris’. Martin has lent his vocals to the track ‘Hexes’ with guitarist Acle Kahney expressing his excitement at the collaboration.

I was at a Martin Grech show over 12 years ago when he was touring his first album. I didn't know his material at the time but it's still one of the most memorable gigs I've been to. Not only is he an amazing singer/musician but the whole crowd were so intent on listening that you could hear a pin drop in the quiet sections...don't think I've been to a gig like that since.  His music definitely became an influence and inspiration for me. I find his melodies and music haunting (in a good way!). We'd always spoken about trying to jam some ideas together or be involved with each other's music in some way but nothing ever materialized until Polaris. 
 
Jay and myself have been helping out with a couple of tracks on Martin's new album at Peter Miles' studio in Devon. While we were there Martin, Jay and myself jammed some seedlings of ideas which has now became the song Hexes. The whole band are fans of his music so it felt like a no brainer. Personally I have been wanting to do a collab with Martin for over decade. So it feels great to have someone who has inspired and influenced me become a part of the album.'
Martin Grech achieved critical acclaim back in 2002 with his debut album ‘Open Heart Zoo’, followed by the much darker and intense ‘Unholy’. His last album was released in 2007 though he currently working on a new record and commented about joining forces with TesseracT via his facebook page:

'TesseracT are a band I have long admired, and this has been yet another great experience working with talented artists I have deep respect for.'

The Pineapple Thief have revealed the first full track, entitled 'No Man’s Land' from their highly anticipated new album – 'Your Wilderness' OUT NOW on Kscope - http://bit.ly/PineappleShopApp
 
“This is the first track to share from our new album, Your Wilderness.  It is a tale of two halves.  It's short but progressive and 100% The Pineapple Thief.” Bruce Soord
 
'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.”
 
The Pineapple Thief will be playing Be Prog! My Friend Festival in Barcelona, Spain on 1st July and is currently booking a European tour for late 2016 and planning live shows in USA / Canada.
 
'Your Wilderness' will be released by Kscope on the following formats:

After many months of busting my butt, I've finally finished my interpretation of CAFO by Animals as Leaders. CAFO has always been my dream cover ever since I was 13. I'm satisfied with how the mix came out and I'm excited to share it with you all!

Animals as Leaders - CAFO

Here we all are
Born into a struggle
To come so far
But end up returning to dust

Oxfam panache tips his hat
(laces undone)
He has no truck with idle chat
(work to be done)
The songs he learned from scratched LP's
Stops in mid-flow to sip his tea

He strums the chords with less than grace
(songs we all know)
Each passing year etched on his face
(sun, rain or snow)
The words he sings are not his own
They speak of things he'll never know
