The Pineapple Thief

Dissolution 2018

Another career-topping latest album, this time from Bruce Soord’s brainchild. Beefed up in terms of weight and virtuosic excitement by new drummer Gavin Harrison, Dissolution brings together classic-Floyd-era prog rock, 80s/90s grunge, Radiohead and other influences that have shaped Soord over the years. It’s the band’s most impactful combination of texture, gnarly progressive oomph and strong tunes yet, peaking on the likes of Try As I Might and Far Below.

TPT never quite hit the heights of some of the other artists on the label, but this album puts them comfortably in the big league.
