The Pineapple Thief-Ir leads to this (RED VINYL) 9/2/24

often guarded, 'it leads to this' keeps its ace in the pack up its sleeve, biding conceptually the record is soord's efforts to better understand himself & the world around him. opening with the coy melodies of 'put it right' before moving into the metallic groove of 'rubicon', the album builds to the heart of the record with the epic title track, the cathartic 'the frost', followed by an introspective 'all that's left'. the ominous 'now it's yours' & 'every trace of us' keep the foreboding atmosphere topped up whilst delivering the pineapple thief's signature dynamism, closing the record with the haunting 'to forget'. time until all the right pieces fall in place, giving way to a beautiful, cinematic experience on every track.
