Kscope Podcast Ninety One – Lunatic Soul and The Pineapple Thief Special
Featuring alluring interviews with Mariusz Duda, Bruce Soord and Darran Charles.
Lunatic Soul is the solo project of Mariusz Duda, the creative force behind one of Europe’s biggest rock bands: Riverside. Fractured is the fifth Lunatic Soul album; a personal catharsis following the death of his father and of band member Piotr Grudzinski, working through moving on and offering guidance to others in the same situation. Mariusz states that it's the first LS album that can be listened to "in the day as well as the night".
The Pineapple Thief have released their new concert film Where We Stood, recorded at their sold-out London show on the Your Wilderness tour and boasting performances from Gavin Harrison (King Crimson / Porcupine Tree) on drums and Darran Charles (Godsticks) on guitar. The Welsh hardened industrial rockers recently signed to Kscope for their new album Faced With Rage – and our presenter caught both Darran and Bruce Soord whilst on tour together for a chat about both albums.
Plus a track from one of Britain’s most significant songwriters Daniel Cavanagh of Anathema from his transcendental new solo album Monochrome.
