Halcyon

Halcyon is the debut studio album by Irish folk group Kingfishr. It was announced in May 2025, alongside the release of single "Diamonds & Roses" and released on 22 August 2025 through B-Unique Records and Atlantic Records. Upon announcement, the group said, "Halcyon is the culmination of three years' 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. The name Halcyon is a nod to the landscape and heritage that has moulded our music, even though the songs don't all come from a happy or peaceful place. We're so proud of all of this. Thank you for being a part of it." The album debuted at number one on the Irish Albums Chart. A deluxe edition of the album was released on 21 November 2025 featuring four additional songs. In May 2026, it placed 3rd for Irish Album of the Year and 1st for Debut Album of the Year in the Hot Press Readers' Poll.
