Progressive/art rock outfit THE PINEAPPLE THIEF have released a new single titled “Hold The Ashes”, marking their first release through InsideOut Music. The band has recently completed work on their yet-to-be-announced new studio album and is set to play a series of select European live dates over the summer.
The video for “Hold The Ashes” was directed by THE PINEAPPLE THIEF’s long-time collaborator Jeremy George of Blacktide Productions, and features the band performing the song at School Farm Studios in the U.K.
Bruce Soord explains: “One thing is certain, one day we’ll all be ashes. It’s the ‘gift from the gods that comes to us all’. For some reason, when writing this song, I couldn’t stop singing about ‘ashes’ in the context of understanding what life is about. ‘Writhing in constant conflict’. Why? So take these ashes and scatter them far and wide. You know, make the most of it.”
THE PINEAPPLE THIEF are set to make select festival and headline appearances across Europe this summer, with the first shows kicking off later this week. The band has also recently announced a North American headline tour scheduled for late 2026.
