Description
2025 MIX OF THE PINEAPPLE THIEF'S DEBUT RELEASE ON KSCOPE
Originally released in 2008, 'Tightly Unwound' marked a pivotal moment in The Pineapple Thief's development -- balancing atmospheric melancholy with sharp dynamics, intricate arrangements & Bruce Soord's increasingly confident songwriting. Widely regarded as one of the defining albums in the band's catalogue, it helped establish the sonic identity that would carry The Pineapple Thief onto a global stage.
Formed in 1999 by songwriter & producer Bruce Soord, The Pineapple Thief have steadily evolved into one of the UK's most respected modern progressive rock bands. Since the original release of 'Tightly Unwound', the band's profile has grown dramatically through extensive international touring, acclaimed releases including 'Your Wilderness', 'Dissolution' & 'Versions Of The Truth', & a run of UK chart success that has cemented their reputation well beyond the progressive scene.
This new 2025 mix, completed by Bruce Soord, revisits the album with renewed depth & clarity while preserving the tension & emotional weight of the original recordings. Previously available only as part of the 'Retracing Our Steps' Earbook, the 2025 mix now receives its first standalone CD / 2LP release.
Available as 4-panel CD digipack edition / 2LP Black Vinyl.

"Tightly Unwound has a visceral undercurrent that prevents singer/guitarist Bruce Soord's penchant for sweet melancholia becoming soporific." -- Classic Rock
