The Pineapple Thief Aimed To Escape Their Comfort Zone With It Leads To This, And It Worked

The Pineapple Thief.

A quarter of a century ago Bruce Soord founded The Pineapple Thief as a solo project. It soon grew beyond his expectations and the quartet's latest album, It Leads To This, finds them switching things up even further. Prog catches up with Soord, drummer Gavin Harrison and bassist Jon Sykes to find out why the record's creation turned out to be such a cathartic experience.

There's a slight air of world weariness about The Pineapple Thief. The band have been in Gavin Harrison's studio, rehearsing for their upcoming tour to support their new album, It Leads To This, and there's the sense that it's been an elongated, potentially mildly frustrating day of missed cues and occasional bum notes.

"Gavin doesn't sugar-coat anything," reveals frontman Bruce Soord, referencing the drummer with a knowing smile. "So we're in the studio now; we play a song, record it and gather around the speakers and listen back. The first time you play it through, it's quite brutal. We have this dynamic where we have an ordered section and a chaos section, but I'm not going to tell you where the chaos section is.

"It's an interesting dynamic and there's a lot of patience with one certain member of the band. It's quite a nice environment because nobody cares if someone says, 'Don't do it like that,' 'I don't like that sound,' or, 'Actually play it right next time!' It's all fine, although that last one generally only comes my way."

Such comments could be indicative of a band embroiled in disheartening studio friction, but the lack of animosity between  the musicians is palpable. It's merely the kind of jovial, lampooning mentality that relieves stressful situations in any collection of close bandmates. There's also a transparent desire to ensure that their live presentation is as consummate as their evocative recordings. Indeed, it's startling to consider that this year is The Pineapple Thief's 25th anniversary, even if there have been drastic changes over that time.

"It's impossible to think of it as one thing," considers Soord. "It really feels like three separate entities. There was the first entity, which was just me alone in the studio. Then we signed to Kscope and started to do small tours with the band. I think then this current entity started in 2016, when we met Gavin for the Your Wilderness album.

"So that's really how I look back on it and compartmentalise it all. That's why it still feels fresh to me – because this is only the fourth proper studio album that we've done with this lot."

We all have our own studios, which is a little bit of a double-edged sword. You can get a bit complacent and, dare I say it, a bit lazy

That new album is another captivating release that possesses all the classic Pineapple Thief signatures. Perhaps more guitar-heavy than its predecessor, it was assembled using a different writing style. Whereas over recent years the band have digitally exchanged files, this time Soord and Harrison began writing the album together in the drummer's north London home studio.

"It was like an old-school way of doing it," says Soord. "I had been so used to working alone, where I would come up with an idea and then send it to the guys. Gavin would send a drum idea back or chop things up and I would just think, 'Oh well, I've a couple of days to faff around with this.' There was no pressure. It's hard work when you're on your own, as you think, 'I'll make myself a cup of coffee and do it tomorrow.'

"We all have our own studios, which is a little bit of a double-edged sword. You can get a bit complacent and, dare I say it myself" – looking at the rest of the band – "a bit lazy. When you're sat there together in a room, it's a completely different mindset. It was good and a lot of the songs came out of that session."

"I think that was the first time we were actually in the same room together," adds Harrison. "Before that, it was an internet love affair, sending files backwards and forwards. You do something but you might not get a response to it for a couple of days, whereas this was in the second. I'd play something and there was instant feedback."

From the perspective of an outsider, the combination of guitarist and drummer crafting much of the material together, without the involvement of keyboardist Steve Kitch or bassist Jon Sykes may seem relatively quirky. While there is a declared willingness of all four members to convene to write together in the future, Harrison expresses a certain reticence about the idea.

"You can just end up with a half-hour jam in E," he argues dryly with a smile. "I've done it before and it's very hard because you have three people all trying to contribute harmonically. If it's just a drummer with a guitarist or keyboard player, then you can change the key, the tonality, change the time signature, all on the fly.

"When there are three people all trying to play chords, asking, 'What's that? Is that in E and then it's a D?' You know, they're just falling over each other and it's not an organic process. It usually works best with one harmonics player and a drummer. It's a bit easier to manoeuvre around each other and dance around, rather than three people all trying to contribute harmonically."

"I think there are pros and cons," suggests Sykes diplomatically. "It gives you a fresh approach and you'll get something different to what you would have if you'd done it on your own. I think there's also a benefit to the way we always did it, writing separately, because you get a different type of organic progress.

"Quite often, we're not even talking. The communication is through files with music on. That must give you a different result to when you are face to face saying,'What about this?' I think it's probably good to mix it up."

For all the core material created by the Soord-Harrison partnership, the input of the full band has been critical in shaping the sound of the new album. Indeed, Sykes suggests that The Pineapple Thief now feels more like a "proper" group than at any time in their past. "It definitely feels like more of a band project these days," he says. "There will be a demo base that Bruce will have sent, which might be just a drone sound or something, which gives me a lot of space to develop.

It boils down to just trying to better yourself every record. I'm not saying that it always happens like that; but as an artist, that's your aim

"Usually, I'm responding to what Gavin has done and it does sometimes change the path of a song or might result in a bigger change to one of the sections. We don't really talk about references or anything like that. There isn't a steer to say, 'Make it sound like this.' You can just do whatever you think sounds right."

For all the innate, internal satisfaction with the quality of the album, Soord reveals that its creation was one of the most intense periods he can recall in the band's history. That was seemingly caused by a combination of an internal desire to ensure The Pineapple Thief don't stagnate, along with the challenge of playing some of the more complicated compositions.

"I think that boils down to just trying to better yourself every record," he says. "I'm not saying that it always happens like that; but as an artist, that's your aim. I pushed myself personally to a higher level. There was a period when the album was coming together when you're thinking, 'Right, this is how it's going to be.' Then things start to ramp up and everybody wants it to be as good as it could possibly be.

"We're all pushing each other and we all have ideas as to where we think it should go. Luckily, we're all pretty much on the same page – but that doesn't mean there isn't healthy tension. So it was an intense time getting it finished.

"The good thing about coming to Gavin's was that I was pushed. There's one track called Rubicon, where Gavin just had a rhythm that I hadn't heard before. I was completely out of my comfort zone but in a good way. It's about pushing in every aspect, playing, writing words, and the sound."

The last album was looking at the world and thinking: 'What's going on? How can I make sense of it? Then in 2023 you look at it and think, 'How did it get this bad?'

Those familiar with the band's back catalogue will be aware that the introduction of Harrison into the ranks has altered their music, frequently adding complex, unexpected rhythmic patterns that embellish their sound. As one of the world's most technically gifted drummers, do the rest of the band ever have to rein him in?

"No, I didn't have the genital cuffs on," says Harrison with a smile. "I try to do something unique, play some rhythms that you've never heard before, things that you couldn't say, 'Oh, there's a record just like that with that exact rhythm.' With music that's moving into a popular area, you get very limited, everything's in 4/4 and there's almost nothing you can do that hasn't been done before.

"In a more progressive way, you can do things that aren't technically complicated but are things where you think, 'I've never heard a band play with this rhythm before,' which at the very least gives us something that's unique and interesting."

The carefully crafted musical backdrop is a perfect foil for Soord's lyrics. Known for introspective tales that reference some of his personal, internal conflicts, the songs gathered together on It Leads To This continue his desire to attempt to comprehend the world. "I remember making a conscious decision about what the theme of the record would be," he recalls.

"It began in the depths of the pandemic, when we started to write the first track, which was Put It Right. It was a time of reflection because you were forced into this solitary confinement of your house. I was lucky because I had the studio in my garden.

"So that definitely set the tone, but effectively, I feel it's a continuation of the theme of the last album, which was basically looking at the world that we live in and thinking: 'What's going on? How can I make sense of it, as it's all getting a bit fucked up?'

"Then in 2023 you look at it and think, 'My God, how did it get this bad? This wasn't in the script.' That kind of relates to the It Leads To This title, but at the same time, it's not all negative. It's a positive message, which is that it's in our power to change it. Writing about it is a way of dealing with it. It's tackling it head on. Even now, we're playing the songs together for the first time as a band, and it feels really good to sing it. It's a cathartic experience."

Bloomington Man Pleads Guilty In Multiple DUI Cases

BLOOMINGTON — A Bloomington man facing multiple felony DUI charges has accepted a plea agreement.

In July of last year, Brett S. Hilligoss-Nixon, 23, was indicted, charged with Class 1 aggravated driving under the influence from his fifth intoxicated driving offense on June 28.

According to police, Hilligoss-Nixon had driven into a tree at Hall Court and Williamsburg Drive and admitted to using alcohol and cannabis during the incident.

He also faced Class 2 felony DUI charges from his third and fourth DUI arrests on May 19 and June 1 of the same year.

Hilligoss-Nixon pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of aggravated driving under the influence, one charged as Class 4 and two as Class 2 felonies, across his three pending cases. Aggravated DUI in his third DUI case and Class 2 aggravated DUI for both his fourth and fifth offenses. The remaining charges on the three cases were dropped.

A Class 2 felony is punishable by three to seven years in prison while a Class 4 felony is punishable by one to four years in prison.

They've all served as presidents of MADD, but rarely do these mothers – and a father – get the opportunity to gather together to share their stories at once. Each president's life has been changed because of a drunk or drug-impaired driver.

Judge Amy McFarland ruled against a request from Hilligoss-Nixon's attorney, Bryan McIntyre, that he be released pending sentencing to finish mitigation work.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 24.

McIntyre did not respond to a request for comment.

17 unusual alcohol laws that could get you busted across the world 17 unusual alcohol laws that could get you busted across the world

It's been 90 years since Prohibition was repealed in the United States with the passing of the 21st Amendment in 1933. But even though the law that outlawed alcohol manufacture and sales was ultimately repealed, that doesn't mean the U.S. Became a free-for-all when it came to liquor distribution and consumption.

In fact, after the national ban was lifted, each state had its own approach to legalizing the hard stuff—and as a result, there are still lots of laws to keep boozehounds in check throughout the nation.

CheapInsurance.Com reviewed legislative statutes of U.S. State liquor laws and scoured news stories from around the world to find some of the weirdest laws related to alcohol that are still enforced today. Some hark back to a more puritanical time of temperance and morality, while others boil down to a public safety issue. Still, others are a bit more baffling and may leave you scratching your head wondering, "Why?"

Read on to learn about 17 of the most unusual reasons you could get nabbed for violating an alcohol law in the United States or around the globe.

Canva Nudes and booze are a no-no, New York City

Although New York City is known for its nightlife (and its 4 a.M. Last call), there's one aspect of its entertainment offerings that restricts alcohol entirely: all-nude strip clubs. Gentlemen's clubs that feature exotic dancers who bare it all aren't eligible for liquor or beer and wine licenses—so selling a bottle of bubbly at one of these clubs could get a proprietor busted.

Canva Keep the booze away from the communion wine, New York State

In New York, the State Liquor Authority restricts the sale of whiskey, vodka, and other types of liquors within 200 feet of—or even on the same street as—any place of worship. It's called the "200 Foot Law," and it applies to both restaurants and "taverns" (or bars with pub food). Although these establishments can't qualify for a liquor license, they can legally sell beer and wine within close proximity to a church, synagogue, or even a school.

Canva No hooch on a horse, California

Throughout California, even adults of legal drinking age can't enjoy an adult beverage while galloping down the street. That would be in violation of the state's open container law because horses are considered vehicles under the state vehicle code—which also means you could get busted for a DUI if you're found drunk while behind the reins. And that's not all—you could also get charged with animal cruelty if the horse gets hurt in a drunk-riding accident.

Canva Perpetual Prohibition, Kansas

The other dry state in the U.S. Is Kansas, which never voted to ratify the 21st Amendment in 1933. That means the state never repealed Prohibition—aka the 18th Amendment, which prohibited making, selling, or transporting alcoholic drinks beginning in 1919 (although you could consume them legally). Like Tennessee, the default is "dry," which means serving and selling alcohol is officially outlawed—but individual counties that have approved a 1986 amendment to the state constitution are now allowed to sell and serve adult beverages.

Canva Mommy-and-me martinis, Ohio

While the state of Ohio does stick to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, which makes it illegal to purchase or be in possession of alcoholic beverages on your own under the age of 21, there's an interesting exception to the rule. Under-agers can imbibe in public when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who is "of age" and who provides the drink. They'll just get busted if they try to order for themselves.

Canva No tippling till the polls close, Alaska

In 2014, South Carolina became the last U.S. State to stop following a pre-Prohibition law that banned alcohol sales on Election Day. But that doesn't mean that every state in the country allows its citizens to booze it up before casting their ballot. In Alaska, a law is still on the books that prohibits the serving or sale of alcoholic beverages until the polls close, which is usually 8 p.M. It's only then that the bars can open—unless it's in a city that's adopted an ordinance that states otherwise.

Canva Sober for Santa, Allegany County, New York

In Allegany County, a southernmost county of New York adjacent to Pennsylvania, an odd law keeps its fine citizens sober for the coming of Santa Claus. Although grocery and convenience stores can normally sell alcohol until 1 a.M. On weekdays and weekends—and restaurants, bars, and taverns can all serve alcoholic drinks for on-site consumption until 2 a.M.—Christmas Eve is a different story, with an early closing time of 10 p.M. For both.

Any retailer or venue in violation of this deadline could get busted. Still, drinkers have another option: liquor and wine stores, which are exempt for some reason and can stay open at regular hours on the night before Christmas (which means until midnight on weekdays and until 9 p.M. On Sundays).

Canva Happy hour hindrance, Massachusetts

The Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission of Massachusetts has a host of rules under what it calls its "Happy Hour Regulation"—which, as the name suggests, restricts the sale of discounted drinks during certain hours of the day (aka "time-limited drink specials"). In fact, the prices for alcoholic beverages must remain constant for the entirety of a calendar week. That same law, first enacted in 1984 as part of a campaign against DUIs, could get a bar or restaurant busted for selling an entire pitcher of beer or an entire bottle of wine to just one person, too—no matter what time of day or day of the week.

siemon // Shutterstock Straw-sipping at the daiquiri drive-thru, Louisiana

Most U.S. States have laws on the books about not driving while under the influence of alcohol—and not drinking while driving. But in Louisiana, there's a workaround to the "open container" law that's allowed patrons to purchase daiquiris at the drive-thru since 1981: They have to be frozen, and they have to be covered by a lid that's not been pierced by a straw. You could get busted, however, if you try to drink your spirited slushy through that little hole in the top, as none of the contents can be removed from the cup while you're in the car.

Juergen Faelchle // Shutterstock Cold beer crime, Indiana

It's a Class B misdemeanor in Indiana for convenience stores, grocery stores, and drug stores (all considered "beer dealers") to sell beer that's been chilled in any way—a relic from the post-Prohibition "blue laws" that attempted to instill a sense of moderation in those who partake in adult beverages. (Theoretically, selling the beer at room temperature would keep the customer from cracking it open right away and maybe even finishing it on the ride home.)

That makes Indiana the only U.S. State to restrict alcohol sales based on its temperature. Want a cold brewski without getting busted? Head to an Indiana liquor store (where cold carryout is legal) or a local brewery, which can sell its own beer at a drinkable temperature.

Canva Banned bottomless brunch, Oklahoma

Establishments in Oklahoma are banned from offering alcoholic beverages that are available in truly unlimited quantities—aka "bottomless"—for a single fixed price. Likewise, they can't give away drinks or host BOGO (buy-one-get-one) deals. However, the sky's the limit in terms of the number of drinks that a restaurant or bar can sell to a patron who's paying per serving—that is until they become intoxicated (at which point they can't be served and must leave the premises).

Canva Wasted while at home, Utah

According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, it's not just public drunkenness that's illegal—you could also get busted for being intoxicated in private, where you might "unreasonably" disturb somebody else. That means it's actually against the law to "get drunk" anywhere in the entire state of Utah—even at home, where you could be charged with a Class C misdemeanor if caught! The definition of "under the influence" is the strictest in the country, too: The blood alcohol content limit for a DUI is just .05%, compared to .08% in all other 49 states and the District of Columbia.

Canva Hands off the barkeep, Nebraska

Nebraska's Liquor Control Commission explicitly forbids physical touching between customers and staffers at its licensed establishments. In fact, Section 019.01F1 of its Rules and Regulations specifically mentions "any kissing, or any touching of the breast, buttock, or genital areas." The state liquor law therefore forbids consummating your crush on the bartender—or making any sexual contact with dancers at strip clubs.

Canva Don't bring your cows home drunk, United Kingdom

The United Kingdom's Licensing Act of 1872—much of which is currently enforced—prohibits being in charge of a cow while drunk. So, if you're planning on getting loaded, make sure you're done driving your cattle before you head to your local pub.

Canva Whipped for wine consumption, Saudi Arabia

The experts at Fodor's Travel advise that manufacturing, selling, consuming, or even just having alcohol in your possession is an offense punishable by flogging in Saudi Arabia. In fact, according to Amnesty International, flogging is a mandatory punishment for anyone the Saudi religious police force catches drinking alcohol—or even using cooking wine—as it's in violation of Shariah, or Islamic law, to which the kingdom strictly adheres.

Canva Keep your beer unadulterated, Germany

A "beer purity law" has strictly regulated the ingredients that go into German beer for over 500 years (and counting). It's called "Reinheitsgebot," and it was issued in 1516 to ban using wheat to make beer so its supply could be reserved for bread-making. But the added benefit was that it also protected consumers by preventing brewers from contaminating their lagers with anything nefarious (like hallucinogens) beyond the basic ingredients of water, hops, malted grains, and, as of 1906, yeast.

Today, the German Brewers Association still uses it as a guideline for making heritage-style beers. But unlike in the 16th century, you won't get your beer confiscated if you don't follow the law to a T.

Bestqool Proves The Effectiveness And Safety Of Its Red Light Therapy Device With A Professional Third-party Report

Bestqool

Seattle, Washington, April 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bestqool, a well-reputed manufacturer of red light therapy devices with a vision of helping people achieve a healthier lifestyle, has proudly announced the results of a comprehensive third-party report confirming the effectiveness and safety of its red light therapy devices.

Bestqool's product's irradiance is tested and approved by LightLab International Allentown, LLC, a professional third-party testing agency in the United States that specializes in comprehensive assessment of irradiance and other parameters of red light therapy devices to ensure its quality, safety, and efficacy. Unlike other RLT companies, Bestqool doesn't use solar meters to measure irradiance. Recently, LightLab International Allentown tested the Bestqool RLT device's irradiance and reported devices to have a high-level irradiance (58-100 mW/cm²), which is very suitable for safe and effective deep tissue healing

Red light therapy, scientifically known as photobiomodulation, is a type of cold light source nature-based phototherapy that augments body functions safely and non-invasively by irradiating the human body with concentrated wavelengths of red light and near-infrared light (660-850 nm). Bestqool, a leading manufacturer in the industry of red light therapy, offers lifestyle game-changing devices that prioritize safety, efficacy, and user comfort.

The utilization of red light therapy in well-being has its roots dating back to ancient Greek times. NASA began investigating the benefits of red light therapy initially in the 1970s by using it to grow plants in space. Medical research has shown that red light has a special biological effect on the human body, which can be absorbed by the mitochondria of cells. This light potentially activates the body cell's energy and stimulates various enzymes in the mitochondria, thereby promoting antioxidant levels and improving the function of entire tissues and organs. The red light scope of therapy is diverse and impactful on well-being.

- The red visible light band emitted by the RLT device can be absorbed by the mitochondria in the cells, which increases cell metabolism and regeneration.

- Red light irradiation stimulates vasodilation and accelerates blood circulation. This helps to provide more nutrients and oxygen to the cells and promotes the elimination of waste and carbon dioxide by supporting detoxification.- Red light therapy can increase the phagocytosis of white blood cells and improve the immune function of the body. White blood cells are an important part of the body's immune system, which can recognize and engulf pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, thus playing a role in fighting infection.- The RLT device can heal wounds and ulcers by stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of cells on the surface of the skin, accelerating the healing process of wounds, and reducing healing time and scar formation.

Story continues

Recently, hundreds of clinical studies have been conducted to prove the efficacy of red light therapy. It is also famous for anti-aging, pain relieving, immunity boosting, and sleep-improving advantages. Unlike ultraviolet light, red light is harmless to the skin and does not tan or cause dark spots to the skin. Red light therapy's common applications are the following:

- Physical and mental well-being: weight loss, muscle toning, and mood and cognitive enhancement. - Dermatological diseases: herpes zoster, alopecia areata, lower limb ulcers, bedsores, phlebitis, erysipelas, boils, dermatitis, folliculitis, acne, paronychia, rosacea, anal itching, chilblains, and various genital warts.- Surgical diseases: wound infection, abscess, ulcer, prostatitis, lumbar muscle strain, anal fissure, frozen shoulder, soft tissue contusion, scalds, buttock induration after injection, burns, and post-operative healing.

One of the crucial factors that the reader needs to pay attention to when buying red light therapy is RLT device irradiance. Irradiance is the amount of power delivered per square centimeter of body area per second, commonly expressed as mW/cm²/s (milliwatts per square cm). Irradiance contributes directly to the effectiveness and outcomes of red light therapy.

- Treatment Depth and Efficacy

Light with different wavelengths and irradiation parameters has specific depths of action on cells, particularly mitochondria in the body. High irradiance levels deliver a deeper amount of light energy to cells, while low irradiance targets the superficial layer of skin.

Irradiance

Dosage

Uses

Low irradiance

5-20 mW/cm²

Acne, dermatitis, minor wounds

Medium irradiance

20-50 mW/cm²

Wrinkles, scars, deep tissue injuries

High irradiance

50-100 mW/cm²

Joint pain, muscle injuries, chronic inflammation

- Optimum Dosage Selection

The proper dose of red light therapy is determined by irradiance along with wavelength and duration of treatment, which is necessary for effective treatment. Low, medium, and high irradiance can be utilized according to the treatment goals.

- Equipment Safety

Many companies rely on solar power meters for red light therapy device irradiance measurement in the red light therapy industry, which has led to overstated results. Solar meters lack the precision to test red light therapy-specific wavelengths, potentially resulting in misleading therapy dosage calculations. Don't choose equipment that is not tested and approved by a professional third-party organization to prevent ineffective and risky treatments.

Bestqool's product philosophy is "Stronger, better." It uses rigorous testing methods for product safety to deliver a high level of therapy that is hard to find in any other at-home red light therapy device. Bestqool red light therapy equipment's core technology offers these unparalleled features:

- Upgraded and durable LEDs

Dual chip high-energy light emitting diodes (LEDs) with reasonable and stable output intensity. The therapeutic dose is accurate, and the life is long.

- Deep Concentrated Wavelengths

Clinically proven most effective wavelengths from visible spectrum red light 660 nm, near-infrared light 850 nm.

- Certification

Cleared by FDA, CE, FCC, and ETL

- Safe and Effective

Bestqool offers comfortable medical-grade, non-invasive, non-ablative, non-burning therapy. Tested by LightLab International Allentown, LLC, a third party, for user safety, quality, and reliability.

Conclusion

Given the backdrop of innovation, safety, and efficacy in the red light therapy field, it's reasonable to conclude that Bestqool and Joovv stand out as premier brands in this field. Both companies prioritize the use of advanced technology, rigorous testing, and certification to ensure the highest standards of quality and effectiveness in their products. Bestqool never-ending quest for better health is committed to bringing more advanced red light therapy health solutions in the future. Remember, red light therapy devices are not a substitute for professional medical treatment to cure diseases. RLT helps people who are medically powerless and want to relieve physical and mental discomfort. Appropriate usage of red light therapy can improve visual health, mood, sleep, cognition, and work efficiency to ensure high quality of life.
