Album releases 2026

Ik heb die plaat van The Haunted Youth vandaag ook een paar keer gedraaid, bevalt me erg goed. En net als op Best Kept Secret 2025 is het - ik moest het even opzoeken, maar het moet hetzelfde nummer zijn geweest - het Explosions In The Sky-achtige falling to pieces dat ik vooral enorm sterk vind.
Zo nu en dan heb ik wel het idee dat een plaat in het verkeerde seizoen wordt uitgebracht. Zo ook deze: deze plaat is voor mij heel erg januari. Hopelijk zijn ze volgende winter te zien in de Ronda!

Eens, heerlijke "donkere" plaat. Fijne plaat om je bij op te sluiten. Toch bijzonder dat België steeds dit soort kwalitatieve bands kan leveren.

Hulde aan Joachim en alle mannen die hun emoties en struggles zo openlijk omarmen. Niets potsierlijks aan, maar wmb een broodnodig tegenwicht aan de manospherevibe die emotionele geslotenheid aanmoedigt, met alle gevolgen van dien. Boys cry too and they better do 🙂

Het nieuwe album van Aldous Harding is ook zeer fijn!

Bruce Soord - Ghosts In The Park (The Pineapple Thief)

MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, PRODUCER AND THE PINEAPPLE THIEF FRONTMAN BRUCE SOORD RETURNS WITH POWERFUL NEW SOLO ALBUM

As founding member and principal songwriter of The Pineapple Thief, Bruce Soord has spent the last decade steadily refining a voice that balances emotional directness with musical restraint. Ghosts In The Park, his latest solo album, is his most personal and unguarded work to date: a record shaped by loss, memory, and the quiet spaces that reveal themselves when life continues to move while everything else appears to stop.

Written over a two-year period while Soord was touring extensively with The Pineapple Thief, the album emerged in hotel rooms, unfamiliar cities, and moments of enforced solitude. Against this backdrop, Soord was navigating the drawn-out decline and eventual death of his father, alongside the continued progression of his mother’s Alzheimer’s. These experiences form the emotional spine of Ghosts In The Park - grief in motion, memory surfacing unpredictably, and the quiet determination to keep moving forward.

Acoustic guitar sits at the centre of the record, often captured in raw, first-take performances recorded directly in hotel rooms before being carefully integrated with studio recordings. This tension between fragility and control defines the album’s sound. Tracks such as “Concepción,” “Meet Me On The Downs,” and the title piece were conceived in specific places - Chile, Hamburg, Oberhausen - each location leaving a subtle imprint on the music. Parks, harbours, and anonymous rooms become recurring settings where past and present coexist, intersected by fleeting moments of clarity amongst the disorder.

Performed almost entirely by Soord himself, with bass contributions from Jon Sykes on “Kept Me Thinking,” the album was recorded using a combination of hotel-room captures and studio sessions, preserving the immediacy of its origins. Mastered by Steve Kitch, Ghosts In The Park stands as a stark, reflective and evolutionary companion piece to Soord’s acclaimed previous solo work.
