Given Bruce Soord’s role as founder and bandleader of The Pineapple Thief, the news that he was making a solo record raised eyebrows aplenty in 2015. TPT was his baby, and he’d recorded their three earliest releases by himself anyway.
He made the self-titled album to fill a gap in Kscope’s schedule. It’s testament to the quality of the music that, despite his band’s ongoing success, he’s subsequently released two more studio records and a live album of solo material.
