A smash hit #1 single with the 4 x Platinum ‘Killeagh’, two headline shows at Dublin’s 3Arena, and 100 million+streams. Yet Irish trio Kingfishr are just getting started. Having achieved all of that already, their ascendency is set to be amplified with the news that they will release their long-awaited debut album‘Halcyon’ on August 22nd. They today drive anticipation for the album by sharing the new single‘Diamonds & Roses’, and also announce details of the UK and European headline tour that culminates with a Londonshow at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.
‘Halcyon’ is an album that feels like an instant ‘best of’. It charts Kingfishr’s journey so far, from early break through favourites ‘Flowers-Fire’ and ‘Eyes Don’t Lie’. This is right through to new highlights such as ‘Killeagh’,‘Gloria’ and ‘Man On The Moon’. But there’s also a wealth of brand new material ripe for discovery with tracks including ‘21’, ‘Next To Me’, ‘Someday’ and ‘Schooldays’. The album’s CD and digital formats also add two extra tracks in the shape of‘ Ways To Change’ and ‘Shadow’. It’s a striking statement of intent from a band who find the commonality between the dynamics of contemporary indie-rock and the soul of their traditional Irishroots.
