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.
