Background notes
Archive material and source history
Wild Light started in Los Angeles around 2012, originally going by the name The Chain Gang of 1974. They changed to Wild Light after some legal issues with that first name in 2017. The core of the band has always been Cameron Mesirow on vocals and guitar and Ethan Kaufmann handling drums and keyboards.
Their song 'California on My Mind' got them some attention early on. Other tracks like 'The Party (Oh, My God!)' and 'Future Towns' show their mix of folk and rock with some electronic touches. They put out albums under both names, including 'The Chain Gang of 1974' in 2014, 'Daydream Forever' in 2016, and a self-titled 'Wild Light' record in 2019.
Over time they've had other musicians come through, like Brian Wolff on guitar, Michael Crain on bass, and Alex Hackford playing saxophone. Their sound stays pretty consistent, melodic, a bit introspective, with production that builds atmosphere around Mesirow's voice.
