Kingfishr Release Energetic New Single I Cried, I Wept

Rising Irish indie-folk band Kingfishr have released their vibrant new single I Cried, I Wept. 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?”
