THE PINEAPPLE THIEF TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM 'MAGNOLIA' ON 15TH SEPTEMBER 2014.

The Pineapple Thief have announced details of their new album Magnolia, due for release on 15th September via Kscope. Magnolia follows acclaimed 2012 album all the wars and marks an important turning point for the band, as they expand their musical horizons beyond the progressive sphere.
Recorded at Snap Studios and mixed at Strongroom Studios in London, Magnolia represents the ultimate culmination of songwriter & guitarist Bruce Soord’s ongoing quest to raise spirits and connect. A devastating yet uplifting collection of 12 beautifully crafted songs, it showcases the band's intuitive chemistry and soulful demeanour, cramming a vast array of emotional shades and inspirational ideas into its 47 mesmerising minutes. Veering from the strident opening assault of 'Simple As That', due to be the first single, through to the cinematic sweep of the closing track 'Bond', it marks an important step in the band's story, while skilfully encapsulating everything that has made their musical journey such a relentlessly fascinating one.

"All I ever wanted was to write catchy songs that stay with people" comments founder Bruce Soord, explaining how this record represents an important evolutionary phase for The Pineapple Thief. "The striking thing is that there are no long tunes… all I care about now is writing a good song. I don’t think about whether it's rock or progressive or commercial or anything like that. As time went on, I discovered I could say everything I wanted to say within a shorter period of time."
