about

This is a double album comprising Vorn’s first two releases.

Normal The Normal Normal (1999 – tracks 1–12)Th
“A four-track recording of unfettered originality and tuneful invention. From big rock to wimpy ballad, this bedroom auteur always adds his perspective to the genre he chooses to plunder and deform… Get him while he’s hot doggy, cos hot he sure is.” (Chris Knox, NZ Musician Magazine)

Not Quite As Good (2001 – tracks 13–28)
“Vorn has made a mountain out of his molehill. … despite the flaky quality, beautiful passages, poignant lyrics and layered detail emerge miraculously through the gloop.” (NZ Musician Magazine)
