THE NEW CONCERT ALBUM FROM THE PINEAPPLE THIEF CAPTURING THEIR PERFORMANCE OF THE UK #1 ROCK ALBUM DISSOLUTION

Poetic, erudite, emotionally powerful, and chock-full of musical imagination All Music

Capitalizing on the release of their critically acclaimed 2018 studio album Dissolution, British art-rock band The Pineapple Thief launched a 16-date European headline tour in September showcasing a supreme execution of their new material co-written by Bruce Soord and Gavin Harrison, culminating at their biggest ever show at a packed Londons O2 Shepherds Bush Empire. Their efforts on Dissolution earned them their highest UK Top 40 album chart entry to date and #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.

The new material establishes The Pineapple Thiefs intent to elevate themselves to new heights, with a desire to develop their songwriting and technical capabilities, and with artwork created by iconic design agency Stylorouge, whose previous work includes Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Blur and British film Trainspotting. The album concept tells of the often-dark consequences of living in a society in which everything is played out on a public stage, a theme paralleled in the cover art, which was created by glitching the original photographs. Hold Our Fire is presented in a digipack CD, or as a single 180gm heavyweight LP, and features eight concert performances of Dissolution tracks, including the singles Far Below, Try As I Might, Threatening War & Uncovering Your Tracks, as well as 3000 Days from 2010 studio album Someone Here is Missing with extra guitars from George Marios. The set also features a 16- page booklet with photography by Diana Seifert, and re-imagined cover artwork based on the original by Stylorouge.
