News on the new album from The Pineapple Thief – Far And Wide is coming in October 2026.
GOING FAR AND WIDE
Progressive art-rockers The Pineapple Thief are excited to announce their brand new studio album Far And Wide will be released via InsideOutMusic on the 9th October 2026. The band consists of Bruce Soord (vocals, guitars) Jon Sykes (bass) Steve Kitch (keyboards) and Gavin Harrison (drums).
Still progressive. Still masters of spine-tingling atmosphere and definitely attuned to the strange, troubled world around us. And now, a decade and seven albums on from the arrival of Gavin Harrison on drums – and newly signed to InsideOut Records – they capture the chemistry, road miles and bigger stages of the last few years. On this latest record, The Pineapple Thief feel more like a rock band than ever.
POWERFUL AND IMMERSIVE
“We realised, for instance, that you don’t need more than two guitar parts at any one time,” frontman/founder Bruce Soord says. “You know, ’why have we got four or five guitars? Why have we got six-part harmonies when there’s only three of us singing?’ We deliberately created those constraints, because we thought, ‘we’re a rock band, there’s five of us on stage, this is what we should be about in the studio.’”
“You do start to imagine what a song would look like on a stage, and sometimes that does influence the arrangement,” adds Harrison. “Like, ‘this would be amazing live when we do this, if this section just went into this other thing’, and you can picture it with the lights and the atmosphere on stage.”
It’s a fitting mindset for Far And Wide’s powerful, immersive track-list. You’ll find vignettes of a society in turmoil here. Moral courage in the face of adversity. Personal loss and its ripples. Points that intensify the foundations laid by 2024’s It Leads To This, in which the band contemplated all that the next generation stood to inherit.
