The Pineapple Thief to release 20th anniversary vinyl edition of their fourth studio album ’10 Stories Down’ on 31st October

20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE PINEAPPLE THIEF’S CLASSIC FOURTH ALBUM 10 Stories Down

SET FOR RELEASE ON 31^ST OCTOBER (KSCOPE), SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY 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 and 2005 with frontman Bruce Soord serving as producer. In 2023 it received a full remix and remaster treatment by Bruce Soord (mixing) and Steve Kitch (remastering). To celebrate the 20^th anniversary of this landmark release, Kscope will be releasing a special apricot and black marble vinyl LP on 31^st October.

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 and 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 and progressive compositions, it remains a fan-favourite and 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 and chief songwriter Bruce Soord. Their 14th studio album It Leads to This (2024) was their biggest yet, reaching #1 in the Official Rock and Metal chart and 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) and 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. Pre-order here, released on 31^st October.
