Pineapple Thief: All The Wars (2LP)

All The Wars marks another leap in the Pineapple Thief's progression, as front man Bruce Soord continues to mature as a songwriter and the band's ever growing confidence and status allows them to move in bold musical directions, including the use of a 22-piece string section and a choir. Soord explains, "no expense has been spared regarding the production of this record but at its heart it'd still a rock record. It's very heavy in parts and very delicate and beautiful in others." Following Storm Thorgerson's cover for Someone Here is Missing, the artwork for this album features images created by the award winning photographer Mark Mawson as part of his Aqueous series. Shots from the Aqueous project were recently projected onto Buckingham Palace as the background to Paul McCartney's performance of Magical Mystery Tour during the diamond jubilee celebrations. The limited vinyl edition is pressed on heavyweight (180gm) vinyl and packaged in a gatefold.
