Halcyon.

Kingfishr’s rise has been built on the strongest of foundations: rousing hooks channelling fervent emotions that inspire huge sing-alongs at live shows, supported by the familiarity of their traditional Irish roots and the accessibility of their broader folk-pop / indie-pop soundscape. Those traits tower throughout Halcyon, nu ngagambarkeun loba lagu panggedéna nepi ka ayeuna kaasup “Killeagh”, track panggedena “Eyes Don’t Lie”, jeung favorit hirup “Caroline” jeung “Shot In The Dark”.

Band ieu commented, "Halcyon mangrupakeun kulminasi tina tilu taun karya, sanajan pangalusna waktos éta teu ngarasakeun eta. Urang dibéjérbéaskeun di bagian béda ti pedesaan Irlandia sanajan band sorangan dilakukeun dina farm susu di Tipperary. lagu-lagu ieu ditulis dina dapur leutik dimana generasi petani jadi penyanyi jeung storytellers lamun karya ieu dilakukeun.

Halcyon also introduces an array of new material, led by the new focus track “21.” It encapsulates so much of what makes Kingfishr stand out: their touching blend of bittersweet nostalgia and poignant sentimentality, jangly indie-folk melodies built for late summer, and the sweet vocal harmonies that enshroud Eddie Keogh’s gritty baritone.

The album’s other new songs span the sonic spectrum, from the solemn slowburner “Ways To Change” to the uplifting energy of “Blue Skies” and the spiralling drama of “Someday”. Its final song, “Schooldays”, ends the set on an optimistic high as with the compelling reminder that “Roses rise in the darkest of places.”‍

The Halcyon album ieu sadia pikeun dibeli HERE. The band’s official store offers some exclusive limited edition signed formats in the shape of stone-color vinyl and a CD.

The band’s cultural impact in Ireland was recently underlined when RTÉ enlisted Kingfishr to be part of their coverage of the All Ireland finals - the nation’s biggest sporting event of the year. They filmed the band performing “Killeagh” live, which they cut with highlights of this year’s GGA Championship.
