- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
In April 2008 The Pineapple Thief launched the Kscope label with the
critically acclaimed album, Tightly Unwound.
Initially a solo outlet for BruceÆs music the first album, Abducting, was
released on Cyclops Records in May 1999. The critical plaudits and small but
fanatical fan base that grew around the release was enough to convince Bruce
that perhaps TPT was here to stay and he returned to the Dining Room studios
to work on the second TPT album, 137.
Following the reaction to its release in the spring of 2002 and the growing
demand from fans for live shows, Bruce felt the need to expand TPT to a full
band. The band consisted of his close musical friends û former university
band mate Jon Sykes on bass, Wayne Higgins on guitars, Matt OÆLeary on
keyboards and Keith Harrison on drums. Wayne and Matt have since left but
Steve Kitch (who co-produced and mixed the albums since 10 Stories Down) has
joined to replace Matt and play the keyboards.
The third album, Variations On A Dream (2004) gave TPT a further boost,
reaching out to yet more people all over the world. Three albums followed, 10
Stories Down (2005), Little Man (2006), and limited the run What We Have Sown
(2007) which featured re-worked un-released tracks. This was to prove to be
the last album released via Cyclops before the band signed to Kscope and
released Tightly Unwound. This was followed by The Dawn Raids EPs and 3000
Days, a 2CD re-mixed and re-mastered collection of songs from their ten year
history so far.
The band return in May 2010 with their new album Someone Here Is Missing,
followed by the 2011 album Little Man.
