A 2CD/DVD, 48 pageDeluxe Hardback Book EditionofBruce Soords 2023 studio album featuringexclusive bonus album.Bruce Soords profile has grown substantially over the last decade. In addition to his solo work and being chief songwriter of The Pineapple Thief, his exceptional production skills and coveted mixing has seen Bruce working for acts including TesseracT, Opeth and Jethro Tull. Inspired by the idea of finding inner peace,Luminescenceexplores the difficulty of living in the maelstrom of the modern world. Born from days exploring various cities whilst on tour, tracks from the album feature recordings from Soords wanderings captured on a field recorder.With acoustic guitar at the centre of the album, tracks such as Lie Flat appear simple on the surface, yet reveal Soords unmistakable intricacies throughout.The albums lead track and single Dear Life encapsulate Soords unique sense of poised melancholy, while Nestle In flirts with electronica. Olomoucs rousing strings work against the acoustic backdrop of Soords guitar to paint a vivid picture of the stillness that the record describes.Recorded between January and June of 2023 at Soord Studios, additional strings were recorded at RAK Studio 3 in London (arranged and conductedbyAndrew Skeet, a long-time member of The Divine Comedy and orchestrator on many films/tv shows, from Netflixs smash hit Black Mirror to David Attenboroughs Green Planet).
