Liam Kazar- "Day Off"

Liam Kazar’s “Day Off,” from his upcoming Pilot Light album out on Congrats Records in November, channels a rollicking, fiddle-laced Upstate farmhouse hangout that celebrates hard-won personal time, its sing-along warmth grounded in the seasoned performer’s years backing Jeff Tweedy, Kevin Morby and Waxahatchee. When the band locks into a swampy, funkified swell, Kazar’s sharp songwriting and intuitive arrangement shine.
