Originally released in 2016, 'Your Wilderness' marked a pivotal moment in The Pineapple Thief's evolution, expanding the band's sonic palette & establishing a creative partnership with renowned drummer Gavin Harrison that would help define the group's next chapter. Widely regarded as one of the band's most ambitious & emotionally resonant works, the album remains a landmark release in modern progressive rock.
Now, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Kscope presents a newly remastered edition of 'Your Wilderness' on clear double vinyl, featuring a 2026 remaster by Steve Kitch &, for the first time on vinyl, the companion album '8 Years Later'. Previously only available as part of the sold-out 'Your Wilderness' Earbook, '8 Years Later' collects material written during the same creative period, offering a deeper insight into one of the most fertile eras in The Pineapple Thief's catalogue.
"The perfect blend of brains, brawn, beauty & exquisite songwriting...a modern rock masterpiece." Dom Lawson, The Guardian
Featuring standout tracks including "In Exile", "No Man's Land" & the epic "The Final Thing On My Mind", 'Your Wilderness' saw Bruce Soord draw inspiration from his progressive roots while embracing a broader, more cinematic approach to songwriting. The album's richly textured sound is enhanced by a stellar cast of guest musicians, including John Helliwell (Supertramp), Geoffrey Richardson (Caravan) & Darran Charles (Godsticks).
"This is a fearless, consistently lovely & beautifully executed album that's sure to be cherished" Prog Magazine (UK)
Lyrically, 'Your Wilderness' explores the complex relationship between parent & child, tracing a journey through love, fear, estrangement & reconciliation. Combined with Carl Glover's striking artwork & the band's expansive musical vision, the result is an album of remarkable depth, atmosphere & emotional power.
A definitive edition of a modern progressive rock classic, this 10th Anniversary release brings together the original album & its long-sought companion piece for the first time on vinyl.
