<pfseg id="0">2025 ti mọ Kingfishr lọ lati labẹ awọn radar lati wa ni a massive mainstream proposition. Awọn ọdun ti o ti ri wọn sise rẹ akọkọ #1 single, “Killeagh” (ti o dara julọ gbigbe lati a ile-iṣẹ artist ni akọkọ akọkọ akọkọ, pẹlu awọn 5 ọsẹ ni #1 nigba ti a 21 ọsẹ jade ni awọn Top 10 si bayi) ati akojọ meji gbigbe show ni Dublin's 3Arena nigba tun tẹsiwaju gigs ni UK, Ireland, North America ati Europe. 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, eyi ti o ni ọpọlọpọ awọn oniwe-ọpọlọpọ awọn oniwe-ọpọlọpọ awọn ọpọlọpọ ti awọn oniwe-ọpọlọpọ awọn song to date pẹlu “Killeagh”, awọn oniwe-ọpọlọpọ ti awọn oniwe-ọpọlọpọ track “Eyes Don’t Lie”, ati awọn live ti o dara julọ “Caroline” ati “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.
Awọn orukọ Halcyon jẹ aṣiṣe si awọn orilẹ-ede ati awọn orilẹ-ede ti a ti ṣẹda awọn music wa, ṣugbọn awọn songs ko gbogbo wa ni lati ibi ti o dara tabi ti o rọrun. A ti wa ni o dara julọ nipa gbogbo eyi. O ṣeun fun awọn ti o ba wa ni ọkan ninu o. Lati siwaju!”

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 ni bayi wa lati ra 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.

Kingfishr will celebrate the release of Halcyon po nipasẹ awọn gbigbe titun titun show ni Limerick's Live At The Docklands. Loni wọn tun bẹrẹ awọn oniwe-ọna Halcyon acoustic tour eyi ti o fẹ wọn ṣeto ọpọlọpọ ninu-iṣowo ati-iṣowo-iṣowo ni gbogbo Ireland ati UK.
