'THE PINEAPPLE THIEF'

TALKS ABOUT NEW ALBUM AND TOUR

The Pineapple Thief have launched their brand new video for “Try As I Might”, the new single from their forthcoming new studio album Dissolution. The highly anticipated follow up to 2015’s Your Wilderness, is the band’s second album to feature King Crimson and Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison.

Vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Bruce Soord explains his dystopian view “The video follows the theme of the song and the album – if you sign up to this hyper connected world we live in, then you have to live with the consequences. Try as you might to get out of it.”

The futuristic clip was created by Blacktide Phonic/Visual director George Laycock, who expands on how he created the film “When The Pineapple Thief came to me with their track ‘Try as I might’, they had a broad basis for an idea for a music video that dealt with a social media obsessed ‘connected’ world.

This had nods to previous films and television like ‘The Truman Show’, ‘Black Mirror’, the ‘Big Brother’ landscape and its preceding shows, so it was about creating a storyline using these broad influences and encapsulating into an obscure 3-minute film on a budget.

I was interested in the concept of ‘in eye cameras’, scary technology I am sure isn’t too far away from us. We decided to go down the optical medical route and follow our character on a journey from first pre-operation, to surgery, recovery and then trying to battle the decision he has made, whilst battling with the corporation he has signed up too. The film hopefully leaves the viewer to create their own conceptions on his outcome.

We filmed it all on the Dorset/Devon coastline around where I live and were fortunate to be able to secure great locations to shoot in with a few favours, including a remote seaside post-modern house, a private beach and a real working hospital and opticians.

To keep the cast down to a minimum I decided that the camera that is watching Bruce would become the main supporting actor and his nemesis, appearing in scenes without anyone operating it. This allowed us to see the cameras point of view and tell the story to the fictional viewer. This old broadcast camera weighed an absolute ton, and carrying through remote woods, down a mile-long steep cliff path to a beach was a challenge on some of the hottest days of the year. Filming in the water at the end was a welcome refreshment. 

Many thanks to all those who helped with the film, especially everyone involved at Yeovil hospital for allowing us such amazing access, and to Bruce for being so amenable about having scalpels inches from his eyeball.”

The Pineapple Thief have grown to become one of the leading lights of Europe’s experimental rock domain, Your Wilderness produced 4m+ album streams, a #7 in the UK Independent Charts and two extensive headline European tours culminating at London’s Islington Assembly Hall where the concert was recorded for the live release Where We Stood, and their new album Dissolution promises to propel the band to even greater heights.

The Pineapple Thief is a progressive rock band, started by Bruce Soord in 1999 in Somerset, England. The band has released eleven studio albums.

Guest Occupation: cancer physician
Guest Biography:

Linda L. Isaacs, M.D., received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kentucky, graduating with High Distinction with a major in biochemistry. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She subsequently received her medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 1985. She completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Department of Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center at New York University Medical School. She is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, most recently completing recertification in 2011.

Dr. Isaacs worked with her colleague Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D., for more than twenty years, using a nutritional approach for treating patients diagnosed with cancer and other serious degenerative illnesses. After his untimely death in July 2015, she has continued with the work they shared. The treatment involves diet, which varies from patient to patient and can range from almost exclusively vegetarian to one that is heavy in animal protein and fat; individualized nutritional supplement protocols, which include large doses of pancreatic enzymes; and procedures such as coffee enemas that help the body rid itself of metabolic wastes.

In 1999, Dr. Isaacs and Dr. Gonzalez completed a research study in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer: the results were published in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrition and Cancer, showing survival well beyond what is described in the medical literature. They also published a series of case reports in the peer-reviewed journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, and co-authored the book The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer. Dr. Isaacs wrote the article “Deciding to Pursue an Alternative Cancer Therapy” to help prospective patients sort through their options; it is available on her website.

Guest Occupation: Founder Project Starseed, Author, Healer, Remote Viewer, Registered Nurse
Guest Biography:

There may well be millions of ‘Starseed’ incarnate here on Earth right now – each with a special task to undertake and facilitate. It is Naomi’s intention through creating the Project Starseed database that we gently place our energies away from the ‘push’ for Disclosure to a personal revelation of the truths surrounding our Intergalactic Heritage.

Why? Some of you may ask – the answer is simple: By purposefully keeping ourselves within an energy pattern of ‘pushing for’ or ‘needing’ by the laws of the Universe we create or manifest a tomorrow with the same energies – the same reality unfolds, like groundhog day.

In addition to this is the fact is that being in opposition to what may be perceived as a ‘stronger force then you’ i.e the Elite or Global Governments we are reinforcing Duality and Polarity – not Unity.

How can a Unity Consciousness and Global Integration with the Intergalactic communities even occur with this battle for truth going on here on Earth? When there is a war, be it physical or for information – there is no peace. There is no Unity. Instead the change and change of focus must start within each and everyone of us.

To commence Global Unity Consciousness, we each have a role to play as an Awakened Starseed who simply knows they are a part of a much bigger picture. By ‘coming out’ firstly to ourselves on our Inner Truths, we can slowly then ‘come out’ as a group who feels and knows themselves to have Intergalactic Histories and maybe intergalactic Origins. The knock on effect will be two fold – firstly as conscious entities we are constantly ‘feeding back’ to the greater Consciousness which means our thought patterns will impact upon the thoughts of others – Sheldrake’s ‘Morphic Resonance’. Secondly by placing our Energies into this group and emerging truths as headcount numbers increase our ‘reality’ will change and mold around us: Disclosure won’t be the focus but will occur as a side effect or by product of this.

Note from Naomi:  I know in the Disclosure circles there is, for good reason, a lot of fear and paranoia in discussing and sharing secret ET, UFO and intergalactic information.  The good thing is, there is nothing secretive about Project Starseed, this project or me! I’ve got a huge online history which, if you are concerned about ‘signing up’ as an Awakened Starseed, I encourage you to have a good look through.

In short, I’m a mum of two, Registered Nurse – “Nurse Naomi” and Energy Healer (Reiki Master, Theta Healer, Intuitive Healer) and Remote Viewer. I am an Author: my memoir How She Healed Me is now available on Amazon. I also write children’s books aimed at inspiring and empowering children to harness their own health and wellbeing, check out The Little Bush Nurse. I blog as Nurse Naomi on integrative and mainstream aspects of health and wellness.
