While tracks from their debut album are currently getting played across radio in the UK from BBC1 to XFM, Pilotlight are currently working on new material to follow up The Post War Musical.

The band take a break from the rehearsal room and the studio to play their only summer show at the Temple House Festival. Dubliners Pilotlight were conceived with the premise of creating an escapism through music that the listener could soundtrack their daily lives to. Pilotlight's use of perspective, tonality, and dynamic have allowed them to pioneer their own style of despondent alternative rock. Their music deals with love, loss and the beauty & frailty that is human existence. Sharing in enjoyment of the cathartic process of listening to a sad song (“Love Will Tear Us Apart” - Joy Division, “Switching Off” - Elbow, “Motion Picture Soundtrack” - Radiohead, “Last Goodbye” - Jeff Buckley) and influenced by aspects of George Orwell's observations of society, Francis Bacon's use of colour & violent resolve, and, Michel Gondry's use of neosurrealism to explore the nature of relationships; when four friends found a creative refuge in each other's company, Pilotlight was born.

The Post War Musical, a project introduced by the British government after the Second World War in order to boost morale, brought hope to a landscape devastated by loss. The Post War Musical was recorded with David Odlum in Black Box Studios, a converted stables in the quiet secluded surrounds of Noyant La Gravoyere, France over a 2 week period in 2008. Pilotlight's debut album The Post War Musical is available in all good record stores and online. HOT PRESS **** IRISH DAILY STAR ****

“The Post War Musical is fragile yet fierce, epic, dark and… pretty damn beautiful.” THE IRISH WORLD

“If, as Keats would have us believe, "beauty is truth, truth beauty"; The Post War Musical is, indeed, "all ye need to know." CLUAS.COM (8/10)

“Pilotlight are a cerebral outift with contemplations driven by mood inducing melodic shifts borne from an unmistakably thorough knowledge of their craft.” THE BIG LIST

“The album features a truly euphoric collection of post-rock tinged indie rock sounds. Its full of slow building guitar led sounds, some finally building up into thunderous explosions of pure fuzzed up guitar action.” ROAD RECORDS

“This album is a rarity, it's incredibly polished and beautifully constructed. The Post War Musical is a really fantastic album” DROP-D.IE

“Unassuming, brooding songs that tease their way into magnificent compositions - IRISH DAILY STAR
