Description
CLASSIC 2005 ALBUM FROM THE PINEAPPLE THIEF -
NOW REMIXED BY BRUCE SOORD & REMASTERED BY STEVE KITCH
.
Formed in 1999 by founder & chief songwriter Bruce Soord, The Pineapple Thief have continued to evolve & refine their sound ever since. They're now seen by many as one of the most interesting & innovative rock bands the UK have produced in recent years. Over the last half-decade, bolstered by the involvement of master drummer Gavin Harrison, the band has rapidly ascended to the upper echelons of Europe's Alternative Rock scene.
The band's anthemic 2020 release 'Versions Of The Truth' garnered worldwide acclaim, earning TPT their highest chart positions to date. Immediately affected by lockdowns, the album eventually led to extensive European & American headline tours.
Prior to working on a new studio album, 2023 has seen the band turn to revisiting its vast & impressive catalogue, with this edition of '10 Stories Down' (originally released in 2005 on the Cyclops label) the latest in a series of early classics remixed & remastered for release on LP.

Description
20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE PINEAPPLE THIEF'S CLASSIC FOURTH ALBUM PRESENTED ON APRICOT & BLACK MARBLE VINYL.
'10 Stories Down' is The Pineapple Thief's fourth studio album, originally released in June 2005. The album was recorded across 2004 & 2005 with frontman Bruce Soord serving as producer. In 2023, it received a full remix & remaster treatment by Bruce Soord (mixing) & Steve Kitch (remastering).
A blend of progressive rock with elements of Brit-pop, the album is often likened to the moody atmospherics of Radiohead or Muse. The album actually supersedes an earlier, limited "preview" release titled '12 Stories Down' (2004), comprising rawer mixes & a few exclusive tracks. '10 Stories Down' represents the definitive, polished version.
"After just one walkthrough or maybe even a glimpse from afar, you'll want to immediately reserve your spot in this luxurious, but unusually resilient high-rise" - Music Street Journal
'10 Stories Down' stands as a defining early work for The Pineapple Thief. With its dreamy, melancholic textures & progressive compositions, it remains a fan-favourite & a landmark in the band's evolution.
One of the leading lights in Europe's experimental rock domain, The Pineapple Thief were formed in 1999 by founder & chief songwriter Bruce Soord. Their 14th studio album 'It Leads To This' (2024) was their biggest yet, reaching #1 in the Official Rock & Metal chart & followed up by extensive worldwide touring. The line-up has remained solid since 2016's game-changing 'Your Wilderness': Bruce Soord (guitar/vocals), Jon Sykes (bass/backing vocals), Gavin Harrison (drums/percussion) & Steve Kitch (keyboards).
This 20th anniversary edition of '10 Stories Down' is presented on apricot & black marble vinyl in a single sleeve. The audio was remastered in 2023 by Steve Kitch at Steve Kitch Remastering studios.
