The Pineapple Thief just announced that 15th album Far And Wide will arrive on October 9, 2026. It follows 2024’s It Leads To This, which came out of a new way of working for leader Bruce Soord and drummer Gavin Harrison. That year the pair, along with bassist Jon Sykes, told Prog about the process.
There’s a slight air of world weariness about The Pineapple Thief. The band have been in Gavin Harrison’s studio, rehearsing for their upcoming tour in support of new album It Leads To This, and there’s the sense that it’s been an elongated, potentially mildly frustrating day of missed cues and occasional bum notes.
