Hi, This is the Pineapple Thief newsletter i just got and i wanted to share with you guys 'cause i think it's good news for us who like the band which i'm sure will have a better ciculation of their work. This is the complete letter:

Hey there,

New record deal signed with K-Scope
===================================

Some exciting news this month. We 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, for the first time in our history, we 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 not only the label boss, he is also a fan of the music. Also, Bruce and Malcolm are good friends having worked with each other since 1994 so happily there is absolutely no ill feeling between the two of them. 2008 is set to be an exciting year for The Thief. Watch this space...

To celebrate the new release a "Tightly Unwound" microsite is being created. This will include track previews, videos, an exclusive mp3 and a remix competition. As a teaser you can visit the site and hear a sneak preview of "My debt to you" which will be on the forthcoming album. Bookmark this page:
