Yanzu da trio ya sami wani mataki na mataki tare da yau da aka ba da al'amuran na farko album 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, wanda yana da yawa daga cikin mafi girma songs har zuwa yanzu ciki har da “Killeagh”, da mafi girma track “Eyes Don’t Lie”, da kuma live favorites “Caroline” da “Shot In The Dark”.

The band commented, “Halcyon is the culmination of three year’s work, though most of the time it hasn’t felt like it. We grew up in different parts of rural Ireland though the band itself was born on a dairy farm in Tipperary. The songs were written in a small kitchen where generations of farmers became singers and storytellers when the work was done.

The name Halcyon is a nod to the landscape and heritage that has moulded our music, even though the songs don’t all come from a happy or peaceful place. We’re so proud of all of this. Thank you for being a part of it. On and up!”

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 ne yanzu samuwa don samuwa 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.
