A 20th anniversary edition of 10 Stories Down on apricot and black marble vinyl featuring a Bruce Soord mix and a Steve Kitch remaster (both from 2023).

 

The album stands as a defining early work for The Pineapple Thief, with its sophisticated textures and progressive compositions. It remains a fan-favourite and a landmark in the band’s evolution. 

 

----------

 

10 Stories Down was recorded across 2004 and 2005 with frontman TPT’s Bruce Soord serving as producer. 

 

A blend of progressive rock with elements of Brit-pop, the album is often likened to the moody atmospherics of Radiohead or Muse. The album actually supersedes an earlier, limited "preview" release titled 12 Stories Down (2004), comprising rawer mixes and a few exclusive tracks. 10 Stories Down represents the definitive, polished version.
