Of the title track to the new album frontman Bruce Soord says” “This track probably doesn’t need too much in the way of explanation, I came up with the title when we started writing the record back in October 2018. At the time, the world around me seemed to be losing respect for ‘the truth’. Any version of the truth, it seemed, was fair game as long as it got you what or where you wanted. I never expected the song to be even more pertinent today.
“The video however tackles very personal distortions of life and truth. George Laycock, who produced and directed the video, found some beautiful locations down here on the Dorset Jurassic coast, together with some local ‘swimmers’. Luckily, as George lives just 40 minutes away from me, we were able to shoot together again, even in today's strange climate. The rivers, the blue seas and virgin blue skies unblemished by vapour trails look otherworldly. ‘It’s not how I remember it….’”

This band is a masterclass in songwriting. Everyone is absolutely on top of their game. Every single layer is so perfect, minimal and enriching and suits the song so well. Of course, Gavin's playing is as masterful as always, but Bruce's writing is so tasteful and purposeful, plus his production is off the charts as well. Crystal clear. Really excited for the album.

[@brhelvojta]

Don't know what should I do first. Listen to vocals, drums, bass, beautiful marimba, guitars, piano and synths... or watch the perfect video... I am amazed and thrilled for rest of the album!!! 😁

[@RyanxDunn]

Agreed. This song is so full of instrumental flavor.

[@stevejohnson8693]

Transcends ordinary Prog-rock. Simultaneously spiritual and grounded. Rhythms and counter rhythms build through the narrative with expert execution. Once again, great stuff.

[@aeynosarturii8053]

The production on this song is amazing. Everything is clear, the mood seamlessly changes as the tempo shifts up and down. I love how the dissonance keeps you hanging for longer than you expect. It makes you hope for resolution and they do resolve into a fantastic jam, but make you work for it emotionally. Pure bliss to listen to.

[@virus3103]

Best song of the year, by far.

[@jorgelbarral]

Bruce has such a haunting voice, perfect for this music. Love his guitar work too, full of nuances and beautiful effects!

[@0_Ka-Bar_0]

Totally the best sounding Hi-Hat ever recorded.

[@F94D15]

This is what I called Music. Gavin is perfection.

[@stephantelm4922]

How about Bruce? Jon?…

[@RyanxDunn]

They've really hit the spot with the last 2 albums and I'm glad they're continuing that sound into this one while still managing to expand it.

[@LesPaulManiac]

I love that the past few videos have just had Bruce sitting somewhere, or walking somewhere. It's not a criticism, I just think it's a funny motif. "Alright guys, with this video, Bruce is going to.....walk that way."

[@tywco]

Social distancing.

[@brandelay]

Anything Gavin is involved in is gonna be 🔥.

[@JackRosei]

So true!

[@stephantelm4922]

Yeah, but they were already on fire before Gavin. The whole band is amazing. It’s not a one man show (of the person who’s been in the band the least amount of time, especially).

[@robertsomerville320]

What a great piece of art. Not like any other piece they've done before. Mind Blown.

[@alvarohighfire]

Love this song, a real piece of art

[@kaocampo25]

at 3:12 I got a feeling of "The Final Thing on my Mind". Awesome work as always. Can't wait!

[@AlexSPb85]

Ah.. this hi-hat is 😍

[@warrenoids]

It's extra crispy. Vintage Zildjian Constantinople, 14 inches.

[@thesadprofessor]

@Elijah Rosgard I guess he means the beginning of the first real "full sound" chorus? yeah - I say it was probably Vel 120... I really LIKE the idea, but I think it has been modified - maybe post-modified - I would have loved to hear that "live" played, which he certainly can do, though not with THAT dynamic different. But let's see what they make out of it LIVE.

[@HomeworkRadio]

Fantastic!

[@levbuava]

guitar work is mindblowing

[@user-dz9gy2kn1m]

Dzięki Ci Panie że pozwoliłeś mi się urodzić w czasie kiedy ci faceci postanowili robić muzykę

[@johnbeaker8721]

God that bass is tight. Love this! You guys never dissapoint!

[@aniketthakur5520]

The new songs are getting darker gradually.

[@RyanxDunn]

What I like is that they're not all depressing sounding, even if the lyrical theme isn't positive per say.

[@aniketthakur5520]

Moreover, in my pov, lyrics are mostly based on terror management theory or nihilistic prospect.

[@jojogpt]

Don't mind if they do. Darker and personal themes go nicely in prog bands like them (Gazpacho is another excellent example). At least that's what I think.

[@RyanxDunn]

@Elijah Rosgard All to their own I guess. Something about their old stuff before Gavin came in just didn't grab my attention like their newer stuff. I think they just become more musically spacious and less heavy elements were used. I come from listening to metalcore and Dream Theater and such so I'm not alien to heavier stuff, but for me, their sound works better this way. As a fan from a beginning such as yourself, however, I can see how the change might be a bit disappointing or confusing though.

[@TheJontslayer]

This album is already phenomenal

[@julienmauger6264]

OMG I love Gavin's drum playing

[@stephantelm4922]

[@michelcanonico649]

Quel régal pour les oreilles ! Le chant de Bruce Soord donne toujours des frissons et Gavin est comme d’habitude géant.

Otra exquisita canción de esta gran banda donde lo simple y complejo conviven de manera natural!!

Brilliant Video!

Gavin es el baterista que SIEMPRE hace TODO BIEN 👏🏼

[@zumaraj]

Bruce cant do a thing wrong I guess and hope too. This is another amazing example of classic works and his legacy... way to go...

[@thekitchenfreak]

Man 4:07 is so cinematic! TPT has never sounded so grand! Gavin’s drum tone is GOLD! Top excitement for this album!

[@ianmcadam5475]

Unbelievable musicians, what a song

[@xavierazad]

The guitars on The Pineapple Thief's new songs have been amazing and Gavin's playing also seems quite different from their previous songs as if he's giving more space to other instruments and vocals to shine.

[@lilymuu]

That's something Gavin did very often in Porcupine Tree. It's awesome to see he's still using space so creatively and considerately while making the most of it.

[@gaia38ant]

yeah but that sextolet is saucy !

[@baristokel]

His left footwork though

[@brenda.c.r]

This is my favorite song of the entire year's releases. Is amazing, Gavin did an amazing job, and the rest of the band don't stand behind, is wonderful

[@Pankaj81able]

Another masterpiece to keep sanity awake

[@17primemover]

Got my ticket for the May 17th show in Milwaukee!

[@bowlingfred]

Me too! I've seen Gavin live with King Crimson, superb! The work with Porcupine Tree, extraordinary...

[@advythify]

Probably the best video of theirs and the best album of 2020

[@alexbejarano4492]

Give a chance to this group they're amazing, every song is a journey

Well this makes me extremely excited for the album. Absolutely love this!

This is TPT, not the Gavin Harrison Band

Awesome!! Love your band!! Hopefully I'll get a chance to see you guys live here in the US after the virus has gone.

[@julianjoyce2577]

Bon sang ! Heaven & Hell ! What a gorgeous track... At once profound and spectacular, shadowy and brilliant, intimate and epic ! It's intense and captivating all along. With many subtle & intricate ideas and sounds never damaging this flow of moving and accessible music. And I love how the "marimbas" in the arrangements bring an unexpected kind of "Peter Gabriel's San Jacinto vibe" to some parts of the song... :)

[@ROGERWS1953]

To me Bruce's past still haunts him in his mind . Very intense ! I can relate !!!
