The Pineapple Thief Release 'God Knows' Video
(PFA) The Pineapple Thief are set to release their new studio album Far and Wide on October 9, 2026. With just under a month to go, the band are please to reveal the anthemic new single 'God Knows'.
Bruce Soord comments: "The reckoning. Lying there, with my infinite stare. Through the shadows. I guess it's autobiographical. We all have regrets. I certainly do. I've made mistakes, did people wrong. The (metaphorical) god knows. And those ghosts are coming out..."
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 realized, 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."
Far and Wide will arrive on several formats, including a Ltd 2CD & Blu-ray artbook which includes the bonus track 'Daylight', as well as a second CD of instrumentals and a blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD 5.1 Surround Sound & 24/48 Stereo Mixes. The album will also be available as a Special Edition CD Digipak, Gatefold LP (in several colour variants) & digitally as both stereo & Dolby Atmos. All formats feature the striking cover image of an abstract sculpture by the late Michael Schoenholtz, father of Harrison's longtime partner Hannah.
