Chicago-raised, Brooklyn-based musician Liam Kazar has announced a new album called Pilot Light, which is due for release on November 7 via Congrats Records. The follow-up to 2021’s Due North reunites the Chicago-raised, Brooklyn-based musician with producer Sam Evian, whose no-frills production is a perfect fit for the breezy, rumbling new single ‘The World the War’. Check out its Austin Vesely-directed video below.
Commenting on the new single, Kazar said: “I feel like I’ve experienced a lot of people who are in very strong positions in the world or in their social status, yet they’re just as alone, just as vulnerable, just as insecure, just as unhappy with what they have as all the people below them.”
Recorded at Evianʼs Flying Cloud Studios in the Catskills, Pilot Light features contributions from Hannah Cohen and Sima Cunningham on backing vocals, as well as Sean Mullins on drums. “I’ve gone through periods of being a very private person and keeping my cards close to the vest, and I’ve let go of all that,” Kazar added. “I think since the relationship I was in ended, I feel like being honest and being vulnerable has only brought me closer to people.”
