Lyrics:

Moonlight fades from my sight
Sunshine, blinds my eyes
Nightmares running through my mind
Sunlight, I’m still here

Feel the rain, won’t let go, no one knows
Inside, we let go, our love grows
Between waves, I take my breath

Moonlight stays in my sight
Darkness, fills my eyes
Thoughts are running through my mind
Somewhere, we are free

Between waves, I take my breath

Feel the rain, won’t let go, no one knows
Inside, we let go, our love grows

THE ALBUM LEAF - Between Waves

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:

OUT NOW

The Pineapple Thief - No Man's Land (from Your Wilderness)

THE PINEAPPLE THIEF RETURNS WITH ITS NEW ALBUM, YOUR WILDERNESS - OUT NOW

FEATURING GAVIN HARRISON (PORCUPINE TREE, KING CRIMSON) ON DRUMS plus guests JOHN HELLIWELL (SUPERTRAMP), GEOFFREY RICHARDSON (CARAVAN) & DARREN CHARLES (GODSTICKS)

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 (featuring Gavin Harrison on drums throughout).

Musically, the band’s 11th studio album represents a marked change in direction and takes TPT away from Magnolia’s more ‘pop’ orientated production. On Your Wilderness, the band has allowed itself -plus a dream team of contributors - to perform without any inhibitions. Bruce Soord has drawn inspiration from his Progressive roots in order to provide 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, alongside Gavin Harrison (who has gifted some typically brilliant drum parts that have taken TPT into fresh territory), and a four-piece choir, Geoffrey Richardson (Caravan) arranged and recorded string sections, Darran Charles (Godsticks) contributed additional electric guitar work, and Supertramp’s John Helliwell performs some beautiful clarinet parts that bring the album to a poignant close. 

Featuring conceptually sympathetic Carl Glover artwork, lyrically Your Wilderness follows the journey of a parent and child and chronicles love, fear, estrangement and, ultimately, reconciliation as their lives unfold.  

Your Wilderness was recorded, mixed and engineered at Soord Studios in Somerset and was produced by The Pineapple Thief (with the exception of the drums, which Gavin Harrison produced & engineered).

The mastering was by The Pineapple Thief’s own Steve Kitch (audiomaster.co.uk).

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 and has continued to evolve and refine its sound throughout its existence.

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 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

Samsara Blues Experiment - Long Distance Trip - Full Album

Lyrics

Searching the night for some peace of mind
Carried away when I heard your voice
Lost in your eyes as I walked through the night
I was alone with you in this life

An ecstasy I never knew before 
A feeling that I never felt before
Silence and madness took over me
Left with no choice but to seize what's mine

Searching incessantly
For the shadow that crawls behind me
I'm draining my energy
for the darkness to grow inside

This feeling I get to go far beyond this world
The light of the moon will show me the way

I made a different plan
To end all that lives inside me 
Awaiting eternity
I can hear the voices call

This feeling I get to go far beyond this world
The light of the moon will show me the way

That is how I will feel alive again
Waking up from this dream I'll be back home

The Final Thing On My Mind

Oh this broken dawn light
When my shooting feels right
There's just one final thing on my mind

Oh the mist of this dawn
The mist of a different dawn
The final thing on my mind?

Every waking dawn it's you I see
Coming back to me
Everything you did is a part of me
Ripped apart from me


How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?

Every waking dawn it's you I see
Coming back to me
Everything you did was a part to me
Ripped apart from me

How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?

How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?
