Lamplight is the project of Ian Hatcher-Williams. Today, The artist has shared new single “Confrontation.” The song is an admission of guilt,” explains Hatcher-Williams of the track, the track is accompanied by a unique new video. “Some settle conflicts with fire, exploding back in the direction it came from; I run from it. Friendships, relationships, jobs, confronting family history. Like tea stains spidering at the bottom of a porcelain cup, the liquid evaporates so slowly you don’t get to observe it leaving. This song came out of reckoning with that – as scared as I am of those explosive moments, the alternative isn’t better.” The single is the third from his forthcoming self-titled debut album–due out March 8, 2024 via Western Vinyl–following “House Rules” and “Call Your Mom”.

Lamplight has also announced an initial run of tour dates, beginning with a record release show at New York’s Mercury Lounge on March 5th. A current itinerary is below and more dates will be announced soon.

The artist creates unique and creative sounds, thanks to producer Kevin Copeland’s (Lightning Bug) production. Hatcher-Williams met Copeland while living in Brooklyn, and as they got to know each other, he revealed that he’d spent years playing in bands before his career took over his life. Copeland’s encouragement, in tandem with the concurrent changes in Hatcher-Williams’ career and domestic life, gave him the confidence to revisit this part of himself that felt unfinished.
