Rising Irish indie-folk band Kingfishr have today released their vibrant new single ‘I Cried, I Wept’. Listen here.
The latest release shows a new side to Kingfishr, the song was born out of rousing, guitar-led melodies and captures the raw intensity of the trio in a room together. ‘I Cried, I Wept’ is a punchy, energetic gem that see’s the band add a lively indie anthem to their rapidly growing and impressive back catalogue.
Speaking on the track, the band said “It represents the feeling of burying some piece of yourself in order for the rest of you to live on, and then wondering if that sacrifice will actually make a difference. If it doesn’t, then where are you?”
The trio played eight sold out headline shows across the UK and Ireland earlier this year. The run of dates concluded with two shows at the 3Olympia Theatre in Ireland which was recorded and released as an 11 track live album. ‘Live From Dublin’ was placed at number 5 in the Irish Album Charts and Number 1 in the Irish Independent Charts. Formats available include signed Black Vinyl, Signed Coloured Vinyl and Signed CD. Listen here. Buy here.
