Attention shoppers,
Attention shoppers,
You might remember this gem from 2022 when it made a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance on another
compilation. But fear not, for like any good dark prophecy, it's come back from the depths, like that expired yogurt lurking at the back of your fridge. Last time we dropped "Saltwater Hum," we
dangled a prophecy before your eyes. And what a prophecy it was! Brace yourselves for mystical musings that even Nostradamus would find cryptic: "The moon will rise in full over the high
mountains." - Well, it does that almost every month, but sure, let's roll with it. "Honey, more precious than candle wax. Eat in despair!" - We're not sure if this is a culinary recommendation or
a commentary on the existential crisis induced by your morning toast. "The sun will burn, and the shining seas will boil." - Climate change, anyone? Sounds less like prophecy and more like
Tuesday's weather report. "They will rise from the briny clandestine kingdoms to wage war against us - the surface dwellers." - Lovecraftian vibes, much? Sounds like an underwater Avengers
plot.
Now, here's the real question: Did any of this come true? Are you now worshiping Anatomy of the Heads
as oracles? Well, we're still waiting for sea monsters to rise and reclaim their territory. As you ponder your willingness to worship us as idols, dive into the eerie depths of "Saltwater Hum".
Just remember to bring a life vest and some snacks – you might be down there a while.
Attention shoppers,
we are thrilled to announce a special anniversary release! As a homage to our journey so far, we have re-cut our debut album, "An Adoration in Prayer and Ritual," and made it available on YouTube. CLICK HERE TO GET TO THE PLAYLIST! This reimagined version features all-new artwork for each track, breathing new life into the album and enhancing the visual experience. Originally released in three long-form pieces, we have taken this opportunity to divide each movement into a more traditional song format. By doing so, we hope to make the album more accessible to a wider audience, particularly those who may not be accustomed to ten-minute-long prog rock operas. With this re-cut, we aim to provide a fresh perspective on our debut album. Visit our YouTube channel to explore the mesmerizing visuals accompanying each track of "An Adoration in Prayer and Ritual." As a token of our gratitude, we invite you to become a patron of the Pineapple Palace and gain access to even more exclusive content. By joining our Patreon community, you'll receive behind-the-scenes insights, early access to releases, merchandise discounts, and much more. Your support enables us to continue creating and sharing our music with the world.

We were recently invited for an interview with an up-and-coming music blag called FOLKSODOMIA and or AWANGARDA U KLOSZARDA. In any case, it is a tiny blog about music and art based in Darłowo, Poland. Check it out and follow them on Twitter here. As always, you can find the interview archived in the lore section here. Come to think of it, I have no idea what people eat in Poland. Let's see... buckwheat groats, hoof-shaped potato dumplings, marinated mushrooms, stuffed pork loin, deep-fried yeast dough stuffed with meat or vegetarian filling, roast duck with apples, red beetroot soup. I could get into this. I once heard that they also had an innards soup that you would have to cook for hours. Turns out there is also a pyramid cake, which is awesome. Pyramids have to be the most sinister shape for any baked goods. Also, there is a pastry related holiday called Fat Thursday. Imagine, a Thursday full of pyramid sweet shapes as you rest from conquering a small village. Your men hunger! May they fest for another day of bloodshed. In any case, greetings to Poland. Kisses all around. May duck blood soup fill your days!
Another new track brought to you by Vacuum Noise Recordings. Get it fast and then take it slow! Mr. Vacuum described the track as such: "You walk into a biker bar with a band playing neo-avantjazz noise rock fusion, & then you realize all the bikes are actually made out
of human heads, but it's OK because you're an alien." While we renounce our alien status vehemently, we would totally build a bike from skulls. Human or otherwise. I wouldn't drive mine,
though. I'd open up a small café around it and have it stand there as a conversation piece. Once per month, I'd drop in the to count the money and tell people not to touch it. Every skull would
have a story, though. Like the one in the front was from a guy who got lost in my backyard. Another one would be a Jehovah's Witness who rang my doorbell on a weekend at seven AM. It would be
cool. A cup of black coffee... excuse me, Americano, is eight bucks, though. It is not cheap, but you go there to wear an art appreciation beret and way philosophically to impress girls. So don't
complain.
THE TERROR NEVER ENDS! In celebration of our new release, we partnered with Abstract Trauma Recordings to create a cassette version of our new EP. The cassette comes on transparent purple tapes that are forged from the finest purple ebony harvested from critically endangered rhinos and manufactured by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum for pennies on a dime. Some might include death threats, others a desperate cry for help - you'll never know unless you buy one!
Attention Shoppers,
in celebration of the bringer of pain, we bring you a brand-new EP that resulted out of a collaboration with a gamelan orchestra. For twenty minutes, all our innards will be laid bare, as we welcome you to our temple of onomatopoetic desires! Be still and set up thy altar with the chalice to the left and the dagger to the right. Sing backwards and weep, for Jungle Cult Terror is upon you! Draw the symbol of sulphur and place it under a red candle, for it is a terrible night to have a curse! While your candle solemnly burns, prepare thyself for a luxurious mixture of gamelan, noise and gentlemanly flavours of black metal. Jungle Cult Terror, a twenty-minute excursion into territories unknown to the ignorant masses. Spit in contempt, exhaust your hatred and lust for their demise. Feel your enemies sicken by the moment in this transfer of negativity, and let it be done!
