The eagerly anticipated 5th album from The Pineapple Thief is at last with us and the quality of the album more than justifies the wait. This is a stunning set of songs that exemplifies the melodious quality of the band and of the main songwriter Bruce Soord.
Although the album is a little heavier in places than the last album, it is still instantly recognisable for its trademark sonic canvases of guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals, once again supplemented by some great violin. From the guitar intro of “dead in the water” to the beautiful and melodic “little man” and “November” through to the epic “we love you” this is at The Pineapple Thief their best.
This is another album that will add to the reputation that this band has built over their last four albums. And it will surely increase their ever growing legion of fans.
