Chimney's Afire is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Josh Pyke.

It was released in October 2008 and peaked at number 3 on the ARIA Charts and was certified gold.

Pyke doesn't quite sound like anyone else, to his credit, but the music is strangely familiar and formulaic at the same time.

There's a careful composition skill at work in the creation of these pieces, that makes ballads and pop ditties with equal aplomb and yet refuses to stand out at all from the other songs, or from other music on the market.

Just a couple of tracks hold any reasonable energy – 'Make You Happy' which holds a bit of mid-'90s American contemporary rock to it, and 'You Don't Scare Me' which starts out with a thumping Ramones-style beat, but moves into a silky vocal line, something that Jonathan Coulton might have used in a parody of contemporary music.
