Climbing their way to world-wide domination, the trio have today released their long-anticipate single 'Caroline'.
Fresh from their Main Stage opening Electric Picnic performance, Limerick-based Kingfishr are releasing their newest single 'Caroline'.
If you were lucky enough to catch the trio in our Hot Press Chat Room this day last week, you would've seen a stunning acoustic performance of the track, with lead singer Eddie Keogh's vocals impressive enough to wow a tent full of enthusiatic listeners.
But fear not - you can still catch the group on their 'Prologue Tour' of Ireland and the UK, with tickets available here.
The group's sixth offering sees Eddie take a poignant look back over a past relationship, citing a “combination of hubris and impulsivity” as the sole reason for walking away. An endearing vulnerability arises within the lyrics as he reminisces about “the girl that got away”, with a defiant slice of introspection.

Eddie's powerful folk vocal drives the track, with impressive vocal layering and harmonies creeping in as the track progresses. An impressive falsetto decorates the bridge of the track as Eoghan McGrath's insistent bango intensifies.
Something of a clash between modern and classical Irish cultural meter, the powerful, cinematic quality to their sound is present in its usual epic proportions, however the underlying message of the track is one of regret.
Speaking about the track, the three men commented: "This song was written quite quickly and almost forgotten about until the people around us told us it was great! So, it is quite exciting to be releasing it to the wider audience, it feels almost like it's theirs as much as ours."
