Atmospheric progressive rock band The Pineapple Thief has released its new single, ‘Versions of the Truth’, the title track from the upcoming album, scheduled for release on September 4, 2020.
“This track probably doesn’t need too much in the way of explanation,” says vocalist Bruce Soord. “I came up with the title when we started writing the record back in October 2018. At the time, the world around me seemed to be losing respect for ‘the truth’. Any version of the truth, it seemed, was fair game as long as it got you what or where you wanted. I never expected the song to be even more pertinent today.
“The video however tackles very personal distortions of life and truth. George Laycock, who produced and directed the video, found some beautiful locations down here on the Dorset Jurassic coast, together with some local ‘swimmers’. Luckily, as George lives just 40 minutes away from me, we were able to shoot together again, even in today’s strange climate. The rivers, the blue seas and virgin blue skies unblemished by vapor trails look otherworldly. ‘It’s not how I remember it….’”
Versions of the Truth was produced by the four members of the band: vocalist Bruce Soord, keyboardist Steve Kitch, bassist Jon Sykes and drummer Gavin Harrison.
The Pineapple Thief’s previous recordings include Your Wilderness and Dissolution.
