The Pineapple Thief just dropped their new album, “It Leads To This” [9th Feb 2024] and are heading out on a UK and Euro tour from 20th Feb. [Tour dates below the video.]
The final single from the album is the title track, out now, and with an accompanying video, produced by Jeremy George, that offers a glimpse of the band’s recent tour rehearsals.
On the title track Bruce Soord states “‘It Leads to This’ can, and should, be read with a question mark. Is the world doomed? Could we have acted differently? Do people change? Does it lead to this? As much as I go on about the polarised state of the world, it’s a minority creating this toxic environment that a lot of us have to live in.
“So, there’s a positive message from this – it shouldn’t, it doesn’t have to lead to this. I’m so proud of this album and song. I just can’t wait to get out there and sing it. I’m going to be able to sing every word, play every note, and feel really good about all of it.”
In support of the new album, the band will be embarking on a EU/UK tour – full dates below. Special guest on the tour will be singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Randy McStine.
