World on Fire is undoubtedly Stick Figure’s best production to date, and the attention to detail throughout the album’s almost seventy minutes creates a top-notch sonic experience.

His songs and sounds have evolved throughout time while staying true to his signature sound. It is music that can be a constant companion in, and soundtrack to, your life.Īn intuitive and accomplished producer, Woodruff crafts authentic artistry from the foundation of roots-dub reggae, featuring cavernous grooves, sparkling electronic orchestration, and thick rhythms. While World on Fire can be enjoyed as a light, fun summertime soundtrack, the message and feeling stay with you long after each listen. Stick Figure has decided to stay “Above the Storm,' choosing to bring listeners a slice of happiness and escape, without ignoring that there are real troubles they may face daily.

Set in a time and place of uncertainty, World on Fire recognizes the turmoil we all face yet puts a positive spin on our outlook. The band also sold out the 9,500 capacity Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, in addition to selling out historic venues like Stubb's Amphitheatre in Austin and the Fox Theatre in Oakland. With more unmistakable hook-worthy beats and deep grooves and inflected with an accessibility that transcends genre, the album comes in a year that's seen Stick Figure headlining the top reggae festivals in the US, including California Roots and Reggae Rise Up. These numbers show Stick Figure's support to be growing by leaps and bounds, and are a strong follow up to the success of 2015’s Set in Stone, which peaked at number 65 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 Heatseakers, #7 Independent, and #1 Reggae album. The album went on to be the #1 selling reggae album of 2019 (Billboard) and has to date sold over 100,000 copies (w/ TEA & SEA, Nielsen). World on Fire is Stick Figure’s seventh album, and debuted as Billboard's #1 Independent Album (w/ SEA & TEA), #1 Reggae album, #4 Digital Album, #5 New Albums, #5 Daily Building Album, #6 Top Albums, #6 Current Albums, #8 Top Albums (w/ TEA) and #34 Top 200. As with his previous releases, World on Fire was written, produced and recorded by Woodruff, a self-taught musician, this time at Stick Figure-owned Great Stone Studios in Oakland, CA, former home of Green Day.

With a calming air of production prowess, Stick Figure is back with his newest album, World on Fire, released on August 30th, 2019.
