The Pineapple Thief

It Leads To This The Pineapple Thief Limited Glass Bottle Green Vinyl edition

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 and the world around him.

One of the leading lights in Europe's experimental rock domain, The Pineapple Thief were formed in 1999 by founder and 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) and Steve Kitch (keyboards).

Whilst not only a phenomenal musician, Bruce has been instrumental in many stereo and immersive remixes of albums, being at the technological forefront and a 'go to' guy for 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos mixing, he takes care of the mixing here for "It Leads To This".
