Info for Last To Run (EP)
Following the success of 2024's “It Leads To This”, which peaked at #1 in the Official UK Rock and Metal Charts, The Pineapple Thief return with their stunning new EP and second release from 2024, Last to Run. Containing over 20 minutes of previously unreleased music, this release sheds new light on the creative journey that shaped the band's chart-topping hit 2024.
The songs on‘’Last to Run’ were written in the same sessions that produced “It Leads To This” and showcase the band's unique blend of progressive rock and introspective lyricism. Singer and songwriter Bruce Soord reflects on the making of the EP:
‘We had some tough decisions to make when deciding on the final track list for ‘It Leads To This’. The songs on this EP are based on songs and ideas from those sessions, but they have since evolved much further than we could have imagined at the time. We're very happy with the result - it really seems to capture a different mood and sound.’
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.
