The Pineapple Thief announce new album ‘Versions Of The Truth’

THE PINEAPPLE THIEF have announced a new album!

Titled Versions Of The Truth, the upcoming album from the British progressive rock band follows on from 2018’s Dissolusion and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Kscope.

Produced by the four members of the band – vocalist Bruce Soord, keyboardist Steve Kitch, bassist Jon Sykes and drummer Gavin Harrison – Versions Of The Truth marries a stellar musical breadth to a spectrum of emotions that run from anger and confusion to sadness and regret and even glimmers of hope. In places, the album is starkly autobiographical. In others, it confronts the chaos of modern life head-on. The album intends to hold up a mirror to the chaos and conflict of 21st-century life and tries to make sense of the distorted reflections that gaze back at it.

“When you have conflict, the truth gets bent and kicked around, the facts get changed,” says Soord. “That’s why people argue or get divorced or fight – because nobody can agree on what the truth is. That idea of different versions of the truth especially applies to the world we’re living in right now. All these things are happening where nobody has any idea of what the real truth of anything is because everything is so distorted.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, THE PINEAPPLE THIEF have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; Demons. The new music video was directed by George Laycock and produced by Blacktide Phonic/Visual.

Speaking about the new song, Soord continues, “the lyrics really speak for themselves. It’s a very simple sentiment, but actually one that was quite difficult to sing when it came to it. It was one of the first songs we wrote for the new album and the emotions that fed into the track were still very raw at the time. I’d like to think writing songs like this would prove to be cathartic, but in reality those demons just don’t go away and it’s really a case of learning to live with them.”
