From the mind of John Halvorsen (The Gordons, Skeptics, Bailter Space) comes A World on Fire, capturing three decades of solo material released for the very first time. Influenced by retro-futurist science fiction themes and the flashpoint of real-world current events, A World on Fire is melodic, heavy, emotive and grungy, with echoes of shoegaze and space rock.

All songs written, performed, recorded & mixed by John Halvorsen between 1991 and 2023 at Subsonic NYC & Brooklyn WGTN New Zealand. Pressed by Stebbings in Auckland New Zealand.

Where do songs come from? This just happened one day at home with the catalyst of Kaye's sweet vocals and strummed acoustic along with Hamish noodling on a bass recorder in the adjoining room while I felt my way with my bass guitar and recording the moment in our home "studio". Hamish added drums and Kaye an iPad Beebot keyboard. Then Alec added his wonderful guitars. Mix the ingredients together and bake the cake. Consume. Paul Kean
