A smash hit #1 single with the 4 x Platinum ‘Killeagh’, two headline shows at Dublin’s 3Arena, and 100 million+ streams – and 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 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 London show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.
‘Halcyon’ is an album that feels like an instant ‘best of’. It charts the journey of Kingfishr so far, from early breakthrough favourites ‘Flowers-Fire’ and ‘Eyes Don’t Lie’ 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 Irish roots.
‘Halcyon’ is now available to pre-order / pre-save HERE. In addition to the album’s standard CD, vinyl and digital formats, the band’s official store offers an exclusive colour vinyl and a signed postcard, while another vinyl format is available via hmv and select independent stores.
Fans who pre-order the album will gain access to a ticket pre-sale which opens at 10am BST / 11am CEST on Wednesday, 28th May. Tickets will then go on general sale at 10am BST / 11am CEST on Friday, 30th May.
Kingfishr’s newly announced UK and European headline tour dates are listed on their website. Please see HERE for ticket details.
