The Profile

The Pineapple Thief is an English progressive/art rock band formed in 1999 by songwriter and guitarist Bruce Soord in Yeovil, Somerset. Known for atmospheric, melodic songwriting that blends electronics with guitar-driven dynamics, the group has released acclaimed albums across the 2000s and 2010s.

Formed in Yeovil, Somerset in 1999 by Bruce Soord; English progressive/art rock band; signed to Kscope from 2008.

Three reviews chart The Pineapple Thief’s English prog trajectory: the cohesive depth of What We Have Sown, the front‑loaded charm and later drift of Tightly Unwound, and the polished yet linear Someone Here Is Missing. Bruce Soord’s voice and carefully layered electronics stand out, with nods to Porcupine Tree, Muse and Radiohead. Highlights include West Winds, the 27‑minute title suite of What We Have Sown, and tracks like Preparation for meltdown and Barely Breathing.
