Editor's note

The Pineapple Thief's slow-burn evolution

Bruce Soord's project has moved from progressive folk textures to electronic territory while keeping a core audience.

If you're new to them, 'In Exile' and 'Wretched Soul' give a good sense of their territory. They're not for everyone, but they've held onto something.

The Pineapple Thief has quietly built a catalog that rewards patient listening. Songs like 'Wretched Soul' show how they balance mood and structure without flash. Their 2010 album 'In Exile' brought wider attention with tracks that still get mentioned in fan circles.

Formed in 1999 in Yeovil, Somerset, with Bruce Soord at the center. The music shifted from progressive rock and folk toward more electronic territory on albums like 'Little Man' and 'Tightly Unwound'. Gavin Harrison joined on drums in 2012, bringing experience from King Crimson and Porcupine Tree.
