SPACE ROCK COLLECTIVE SPIRITS BURNING,
LED BY DON FALCONE, TEAMS UP AGAIN WITH FORMER HAWKWIND VOCALIST BRIDGET WISHART.
California – “Fragments” adds a new chapter to the Spirits Burning story, the fourth full-album collaboration between Bridget Wishart and Don Falcone. They return with a unique and intriguing collection of linked songs, tales, fragments, and readings!
Having shared the stage together in England (captured on the Spirits Burning “Live at Kozfest” album) and documented their history in Don’s 2025 memoir (“One Of The Spirits Burning”), the duo embarked on a 12-song album of vocal and instrumental songs. The album includes “Fragments,” a longer unreleased treasure from 2014 featuring Jerry Jeter and Bridget accompanying Don’s piano and a suite of unfinished songs started by Bridget, Lee Potts and John Pierpoint — based on Bridget’s novel, the “Caoimhe Tales.” Don created the kernels for the opening suite, three nature-themed songs, a subject close to both of their hearts. The album concludes with a trio of “Caoimhe Tales” readings by Bridget, backed by spacey landscapes.
Bridget Wishart is a singer/songwriter/artist and former member of Hawkwind, who has been working in partnership with Spirits Burning since 2003. In her spare time, she has recorded with other bands (including Astral Magic, Astralfish, Band of Doctors, Chumley Warner Brothers and Astral Hawk Machine).
Spirits Burning is a musical collective that features musicians associated with space rock and progressive rock, including input from members of Blue Öyster Cult, Clearlight, Gong, Hawkwind, Van der Graaf Generator, and many other groups, as well as Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson and British science fiction and fantasy writer Michael Moorcock. Spirits Burning is overseen by American composer/producer Don Falcone. Since 1998, they have released 20 albums, featuring almost 300 musicians.
“Spirits Burning has become a respected melting pot of the space-rock fraternity.” Ian Abrahams, author of ‘Hawkwind - Sonic Assassins’ and ‘Festivalized' (co-authored by Bridget Wishart)”
“Fragments” is available worldwide on CD, or as a digital album from Deko Entertainment or from resellers that carry releases distributed by Alternative Distribution Alliance / Warner Music Group, Cargo Records, or The Target Group.
