The Pineapple Thief are pleased to announce that The Pineapple Thief have signed a new four album deal with K-Scope. K-Scope are part of the Snapper Music Group and will offer the band access to a wider audience base, worldwide distribution and greater promotion. The first release will be the next studio album titled 'Tightly Unwound' due out on May 19th 2008.

After eight years and six albums, The Pineapple Thief, for the first time in their history, will no longer be signed to Cyclops Records. Malcolm and Cyclops have always said they would not stand in the way of the band if a bigger player came along. Malcolm is a fan of the music as well as a label boss. Bruce and Malcolm are good friends having worked with each other since 1994. Happily, there is absolutely no ill feeling between the two of them.

So, 2008 is set to be an exciting year for The Thief. Watch this space...
