Info for Last To Run (EP)

Nach dem Erfolg von "It Leads To This" aus dem Jahr 2024, das bis auf Platz 1 der Offiziellen UK Rock- und Metal-Charts kletterte, melden sich The Pineapple Thief mit ihrer atemberaubenden neuen EP und zweiten Veröffentlichung aus dem Jahr 2024, Last to Run, zurück. Diese Veröffentlichung enthält über 20 Minuten bisher unveröffentlichter Musik und wirft ein neues Licht auf die kreative Reise, die den Chart-Hit 2024 der Band geformt hat.

Die Songs auf"»Last to Run" wurden in denselben Sessions geschrieben, in denen auch "It Leads To This" entstanden ist, und zeigen die einzigartige Mischung aus progressivem Rock und introspektiver Lyrik der Band. Sänger und Songschreiber Bruce Soord reflektiert über die Entstehung der EP:

"Wir hatten einige schwierige Entscheidungen zu treffen, als wir uns für die endgültige Trackliste von "It Leads To This" entschieden. Die Songs auf dieser EP basieren auf Songs und Ideen aus diesen Sessions, aber sie haben sich seitdem viel weiter entwickelt, als wir es uns damals hätten vorstellen können. Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis - es scheint wirklich eine andere Stimmung und einen anderen Sound einzufangen."

The Pineapple Thief

In April 2008 The Pineapple Thief launched the Kscope label with the critically acclaimed album, Tightly Unwound.

While the album 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, nurturing their ‘bittersweet’ progressive sound.

Initially a solo outlet for Bruce’s music the first album, Abducting, was released on Cyclops Records in May 1999. The critical plaudits and small but fanatical fan base that grew around the release was enough to convince Bruce that perhaps TPT was here to stay and he returned to the Dining Room studios to work on the second TPT album, 137. Following the reaction to its release in the spring of 2002 and the growing demand from fans for live shows, Bruce felt the need to expand TPT to a full band. The band consisted of his close musical friends - former university band mate Jon Sykes on bass, Wayne Higgins on guitars, Matt O'Leary on keyboards and Keith Harrison on drums. Wayne and Matt have since left but Steve Kitch (who co-produced and mixed the albums since 10 Stories Down) has joined to replace Matt and play the keyboards.

The third album, Variations On A Dream (2004) gave TPT a further boost, reaching out to yet more people all over the world. Three albums followed, 10 Stories Down (2005), Little Man (2006), and limited the run What We Have Sown (2007) which featured re-worked un-released tracks. This was to prove to be the last album released via Cyclops before the band signed to Kscope and released Tightly Unwound. This was followed by The Dawn Raids Eps and 3000 Days, a 2CD re-mixed and re-mastered collection of songs from their ten year history so far.

The band return in May 2010 with their new album "Someone Here Is Missing".

The album also features artwork by the legendary designer Storm Thorgerson, who is famous for creating some of the most recognisable artwork of the last 30 years including albums by Pink Floyd (Dark Side Of The Moon, Division Bell, Pulse), Muse, Led Zeppelin, Biffy Clyro and many more.

This album contains no booklet.
