The Pineapple Thief release new album ‘Far and Wide’
Progressive rock band The Pineapple Thief release their new studio album ‘Far and Wide’ today via InsideOutMusic. On ‘Far and Wide’ The Pineapple Thief feel more like a rock band than ever. Still progressive. Still masters of spine-tingling atmosphere. Still attuned to the strange, troubled world around us. And now, a decade and seven albums on from the arrival of Gavin Harrison on drums – and newly signed to InsideOutMusic – they capture the chemistry, road miles and bigger stages of the last few years.
Far and Wide is the sound of a group with dreamlike complexity at their fingertips, channelling it into hard-hitting, incisive songs.

“We realised, for instance, that you don't need more than two guitar parts at any one time,” frontman/founder Bruce Soord says. “You know, ’why have we got four or five guitars? Why have we got six-part harmonies when there's only three of us singing?’ We deliberately created those constraints, because we thought, ‘we're a rock band, there's five of us on stage, this is what we should be about in the studio.’”

“You do start to imagine what a song would look like on a stage, and sometimes that does influence the arrangement,” Harrison adds. “Like, ‘this would be amazing live when we do this, if this section just went into this other thing’, and you can picture it with the lights and the atmosphere on stage.”

The band recently announced a UK & European headline tour for 2027. Find the full list of upcoming shows here: https://www.pineapplethief.com/tour/

About:

Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands release ‘Casting Stones’ EP; announce ‘Apocalypse’ Deluxe Edition
Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands are pleased to present the ‘Casting Stones’ EP, a collection of 3 tracks recorded during the ‘Apocalypse’ sessions. Available to stream & download now, the EP is led by the stunning title track and you can listen to it now here: https://crownlandsmusic.lnk.to/CastingStones

Vocalist & drummer Cody Bowles comments: “Casting Stones is a very important song to me. When I went through a tough period in my life a couple years back, someone came to attack my identity, my character and my lived experience, assuming the worst intentions of me.

Through that difficult, existential experience, I learned a lot about who I was as an individual, inside and out, and realized that I am a lot more resilient than I once thought.

On the other side of that period, I’ve become truth embodied, wearing it proudly for the world to see and determined not to let anyone or anything dim my light again.
This song serves as a karmic reminder to those who do, or wish, ill will toward others: whatever you throw out into the world will come back around, often harder than you expect. It was a cathartic song to write, and the first of the songs that came out of the initial batch proposed for the Apocalypse album. Though it didn’t make it onto the record because narratively it had nothing to do with Karagon or The Syndicate, it remains one of my favorite songs from that period in our lives.”

Recently the band entered Chalet Studios to play some tracks live, and you can see the duo perform ‘Casting Stones’ here: https://youtu.be/SNeM_6z3-P0

The ‘Apocalypse’ Deluxe Edition is due for release as a 2CD Digipak and Digital Album on the 11th December 2026. The new package features a second disc that includes the ‘Casting Stones’ EP, plus 4 tracks recorded live at Chalet & the live recording of the epic title track to the album that sees the band playing with an expanded line-up.
