Album of the Week: Kingfishr – Halcyon

This album came out in August 2025 but popped into our awareness on the Youtube Music “Heavy Stereo” playlist this week. Superb beautiful Indie Folk with gorgeous harmonies and melodies. The Irish brogue is pretty hard to resist too! Some background from Bandcamp (you’ll have to buy their new album elsewhere):

The kingfisher is native to Ireland’s waterways, remaining sedentary unless food is scarce. Like the kingfisher, each member of the group has moved upstream in search of what they couldn’t find at home.
Kingfishr is an examination of the modern Irish experience, dealing with the love, loss and the struggle to find our place in society.

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our irregularly updated #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm. Listen in @tunein at http://tun.in/sfAtE or on the web player.
