Progressive art rockers THE PINEAPPLE THIEF have shared a new single, "Hold The Ashes", their first release with InsideOut Music.

The track is taken from the band's upcoming studio album, which is currently in production.

This summer, THE PINEAPPLE THIEF will perform several select live dates in Europe.

The video for "Hold The Ashes" was directed by Jeremy George of Blacktide Productions and features footage of the band performing at School Farm Studios in the UK.

In a statement about the song, vocalist Bruce Soord says: "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." The Pineapple Thief has recently announced select European festival and headline appearances during the summer, with the first ones taking place later this week.

The band also recently confirmed a headline North American tour for late 2026.

\ THE PINEAPPLE THIEF has long been one of the genre's most successful and accomplished outfits, releasing 16 studio albums and touring worldwide.

Their current lineup includes Soord (vocals, guitars), Jon Sykes (bass), Steve Kitch (keyboards) and Gavin Harrison (drums).

\ Last year, THE PINEAPPLE THIEF released a monumental eight-disc earbook anthology celebrating the band's legacy from 2007 through 2014.

"Retracing Our Steps" spanned the albums "What We Have Sown", "Tightly Unwound", "Someone Here Is Missing", "All The Wars" and "Magnolia".

Available on Kscope, this collection features rarities, acoustic reinterpretations, and new stereo and immersive mixes, charting the band's evolution through a pivotal chapter in their history.
