Description
THE ACCLAIMED 2016 SUMMER HIT ALBUM FROM THE UK ART ROCK STARS. THE BAND'S FIRST RECORD TO FEATURE THE KING CRIMSON / PORCUPINE TREE DRUMMER GAVIN HARRISON
The Pineapple Thief reissue their breakthrough 2016 album 'Your Wilderness' on mid-price CD following their second headline Europe & UK tour in February / March and following the new heights reached with their 2018 album 'Dissolution'. Their efforts on 'Dissolution' earned them their highest UK album chart entry to date at #36 and also #1 in Rock and Metal, as well as reaching #22 in the German album chart, #4 in the Netherlands Platomania album chart and #14 in the Finland album chart. They also embarked on an ambitious 16-date headline Europe and UK tour in September / October culminating at their biggest ever show at a packed London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire. This success was in part due to the groundwork laid by 'Your Wilderness', which has so far produced 4 million+ album streams and a collection of fan-favourite songs, including "In Exile", "Tear You Up" and "The Final Thing On My Mind".
For the first time, TPT brought in several guest performers for 'Your Wilderness', alongside Gavin Harrison: a four-piece choir, Geoffrey Richardson (Caravan), who arranged and recorded string sections, Darran Charles (Godsticks) contributed additional electric guitar work, and Supertramp's John Helliwell performed some beautiful clarinet parts that bring the album to a poignant close.
Featuring conceptually sympathetic Carl Glover artwork, lyrically 'Your Wilderness' follows the journey of a parent and child through love, estrangement and reconciliation as their lives unfold. This mid-price CD edition of 'Your Wilderness' is presented in a digipack sleeve complete with an 8-page booklet.

THE PINEAPPLE THIEF - YOUR WILDERNESS (10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) - GATEFOLD 2LP EDITION PRESSED ON CLEAR VINYL - NEWLY REMASTERED BY STEVE KITCH, INCLUDES THE 8 YEARS LATER ALBUM (FIRST TIME ON VINYL) .
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.
