MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, PRODUCER & THE PINEAPPLE THIEF FRONTMAN BRUCE SOORD RETURNS WITH POWERFUL NEW SOLO ALBUM - 3CD/BLU-RAY EARBOOK EDITION FEATURING RENOWNED PIANIST GLEB KOLYADIN (IAMTHEMORNING) INCLUDES 'GHOSTS IN THE PARK' CD ALBUM, CD WITH ACOUSTIC REIMAGININGS & CD WITH PIANO VERSIONS & BLU-RAY DISC WITH HI-RES MIXES (DOLBY ATMOS, DTS-HD MA 5-1, & 24/48 PCM STEREO). As founding member & 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 & unguarded work to date: a record shaped by loss, memory, & the quiet spaces that reveal themselves when life continues to move while everything else appears to stop. This definitive Earbook edition of 'Ghosts In The Park' is made up of a 48-page hardback book full of reflections from Bruce Soord, previously unseen photographs & insights into the creative process behind the album. This edition includes 4 CDs Disc 1 'Ghosts In The Park' studio album CD Disc 2 - Bonus CD 'Shipwrecks In The Harbour' (Gleb Kolyadin Piano Versions) CD Disc 3 Bonus CD 'Acoustic Ghosts' (Bruce's Acoustic Versions) Disc 3 - Blu-ray 'Ghosts In The Park', 'Shipwrecks In The Harbour' & 'Acoustic Ghosts': Dolby Atmos /5.1 DTS-HD MA / 24/48 Stereo 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 & studio sessions to preserve the immediacy of its origins. The arrival of world-renowned pianist Gleb Kolyadin on disc two, 'Shipwrecks In The Harbour', elevates the album to a fascinating & profoundly beautiful new dimension. Mastered by Steve Kitch, 'Ghosts In The Park' stands as a stark, reflective & evolutionary companion piece to Soord's acclaimed previous solo work. Written over a two-year period while Soord was touring extensively with The Pineapple Thief, the album emerged in hotel rooms, unfamiliar cities, & moments of enforced solitude. During this time, Soord was navigating the drawn-out decline & 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, & the quiet determination to keep moving forward.
