about

WISDOM OF CROWDS, THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BRUCE SOORD AND JONAS RENKSE

"An album of exquisite melodies and wildly inventive arrangements... this is the sound of two supremely talented artists snatching magic from the ether." Metal Hammer

At a time of personal success for each member of the Wisdom of Crowds project, Kscope are re-releasing the jaw dropping work of art from The Pineapple Thief's frontman Bruce Soord and Katatonia's singer Jonas Renkse. Soord, having recently returned from a sold out debut US tour, has announced the new Pineapple Thief album 'Versions Of the Truth' set for release on September 4th.

Jonas Renkse is currently enjoying the success of Katatonia's latest opus City Burials.. Album chart positions included: #1 in the USA New Artists and #6 in the USA Hard Rock charts, #3 in Sweden's Hard Rock chart, #6 in German album chart, #3 in Poland, #3 in the UK's Rock and Metal chart & #2 in the Australian rock chart.

As Wisdom of Crowds was originally written with Renkse’s voice in mind, Soord sought out the acclaimed Katatonia vocalist to complete the compositions and release the music to the masses in 2013. Despite the rigorous schedules of The Pineapple Thief and Katatonia, the two musicians were eventually able to connect to record an album that swings between fragile acoustic motifs and pounding rock riffs. The partnership unleashed an unparalleled imaginative force that gives listeners more with every listen - a progressive album for curious fans of either Katatonia or The Pineapple Thief.

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ

It’s interesting to hear these songs in acoustic vs. electric. This band has been a wonderful addition to my collection. Douglas Swinford

A love/hate kind of production. I tried to like several times this massive, effect overloaded arena rock production. But the wall of sound prevents me to follow the core (soul) of the music...so a very personal "less is more" impression remains. Nonetheless Not a bad record at all... rs1972
