Description
Bruce Soord, the frontman and creative force behind The Pineapple Thief, released his debut solo album in October 2015. The self-titled album was recorded during the summer of 2015 at Soord’s UK studio, featuring ten tracks written and performed by Soord with Darren Charles (Godsticks) playing additional guitar.
Having wanted to make a solo album for many years, Soord explores the softer, dreamier side of his songwriting here – more acoustic in nature, whilst retaining depth in its arrangement. The album is a celebration of youthful idealism as much as it is a eulogy of times past
Soord revisited his entire life to find inspiration for the songs. A lifetime growing up in a small town, a once-thriving sprawl of friends, lovers and music; much of that now decayed – the venues are closed and the old hunting grounds unrecognizable – this record is a celebration of the past as much as it is an epitaph of times past. While the songs describe a sense of the past that has been lost, it is also a celebration of a wonderful and artistically-decaying town.
