Progressive art-rockers The Pineapple Thief have released their new single, “Hold The Ashes,” marking their first release with InsideOutMusic. The band have also recently completed work on a new studio album, with details to be announced in the coming months.
The track arrives alongside an official video directed by longtime collaborator Jeremy George of Blacktide Productions, featuring the band performing at School Farm Studios in the UK.
Speaking on the song, 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.”
“Hold The Ashes” is available to stream now, with the official video also online.
The Pineapple Thief will also perform select UK and European festival and headline dates this summer, beginning later this week, before heading out on a North American tour in late 2026.
