Label: Kscope
Released 2/16/2024
Recorded September 2020 to July 2023, the record took shape slowly but surely as the band meticulously perfected their sound. Often guarded, 'It Leads To This' keeps its ace in the pack up its sleeve, biding its time until all the right pieces fall in place, giving way to a beautiful, cinematic experience on every track. Conceptually the record is Soord's efforts to better understand himself & the world around him. One of the leading lights in Europe's experimental rock domain, The Pineapple Thief were formed in 1999 by founder & chief songwriter Bruce Soord. 'It Leads To This' is their 14th studio album. The line-up has remained solid since 2016's game-changing 'Your Wilderness': Bruce Soord (guitar/vocals), Jon Sykes (bass/backing vocals), Gavin Harrison (drums/percussion) & Steve Kitch (keyboards). 'Your Wilderness' made the UK Album Chart Top 75 with 2018 follow-up 'Dissolution' peaking at #36, alongside #1 UK Rock & Metal, #22 German album chart & #4 Netherlands Platomania album chart. Whilst not only a phenomenal musician but Bruce has also been instrumental in many stereo & immersive remixes of albums, being at the technological forefront & a 'go to' guy for 5.1 Surround & Dolby Atmos mixing. The Pineapple Thief previously released their early years collection 'How Did We Find Our Way 1999 - 2006' in 2023 with Bruce Soord also releasing his third solo album 'Luminescence' to critical acclaim, supported on the road in autumn 2023.
