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.
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. Against this backdrop, 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.
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 & control defines the album's sound
Track List
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, preserving the immediacy of its origins. Mastered by Steve Kitch, 'Ghosts In The Park' stands as a stark, reflective & evolutionary companion piece to Soord's acclaimed previous solo work.
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.
