“…chiming guitars and velvety vocals that are blanketed in a thick swath of narcotic reverb. The tempos are slow and the arrangements relatively sparse, giving the songs a woozy, morning-after feel.” – Alex Hudson, Exclaim.ca

Village’s EP will be available from our webstore late summer/early fall. Very exciting!

Alrigh’ luvs,

I couldn’t be prouder to introduce to you, the newest KFB 7″ getting excited to sit on your shelf. It’s Eeek!’s debut 7″ for the fantastic song “Potential”. If you don’t know Eeek! they are long-time bros of the whole KFB family- Colin has played in The Shiny Diamonds and has been featured on our early digital compilations too. These guys live and breathe indie-rock and if you are into scrappy post-Cap’n Jazz emo I think you are gonna love it. The record is available to buy on our online store now, but it won’t ship for about 3 weeks.

Only 250 copies made! Hand numbered on forest green vinyl!

CHECK IT OUT

Hello favourite friends!

It is with a happy heart I proudly announce my debut solo 7″, “Anything You Want” which has the esteemed catalogue number of KFB003. It is in my house now and it is for sale in the Kingfisher Bluez online store. It features the lovely humans Devon Parkin and Village and it is limited to a mere 150 copies.

BUY IT!!!!

Thank you!

Live from the suburbs where there are more people than houses and more trees than driveways, I’m writing to you to say hello. Now, normally Tim the Mute is at the helm of this great ship, but he as asked me–The Lion in Love–to occasionally post here as well on behalf of Kingfisher Bluez. You might be wondering who I am and given that I don’t have any releases on KFB you’re probably also thinking, “what? Is Count Oak too busy?” The answer is yes, Count Oak is too busy. It was his birthday yesterday or something and last I heard somebody dyed his ginger mane black. Me, I’m that person at the party who appreciates your vinyl collection more than your conversation which is one of the reasons why I don’t have a single.

Because I don’t know what’s coming out next, listen to some new stuff from Village!

Wow! Look at that! If you were paying close attention to our homie Moka Only’s new video “I’m Swanky” then you would have caught KFB001 (Sebastian Fleet + Count Oak) and KFB002 (Teen Plaque) hanging out in the background. Check it out at the 2:14 mark OK?

There was additional footage shot of myself doing the cooking dance but it was unfortunately cut for reasons unbeknownst to I.

Sebastian Fleet + Count Oak- Sun 7″ is back in stock! The glow-in-the-dark vinyl sold out ridiculously fast but now we have a second pressing of black vinyl limited to only 200 copies and available in our store at a more reasonable price!

Teen Plaque- TPTM/FTR!!! 7″ has new full-wrap sleeves. If you have one of the old ones you are missing out on a bigger photo of the band, maybe for your locker. How are these not sold out already?

Tim The Mute- Anything You Want 7″ That’s right, I have a new record coming out and I couldn’t be more excited about it. It’s not quite a solo single, featuring my collabs with Devon Parkin and Village, as well as a little vinyl-only bonus.

By the way, I have been begging the newer, many-limbed Village to do a single but no luck yet. And hey Devon where’s your masters at???

We recorded a banging song for Spencer‘s debut single last week, hoping to get back in the studio soon to make the b-side!

There are two new KFB singles in the works as well (KFB004 and KFB005 I hope!) but I don’t want to announce them yet because they are too far away but I am hoping for a May release on one, and June for the other.

Wow that was actually a lot of news. Maybe I should make a mailing list… Oh no time to renew the domain again!

OH YEAH thanks for buying our records!!!!

-Tim

I know it’s a bit late but happy holidays to all of you! Despite being a thing since 2008, this is the first year KFB has released physical records. And we released 2! and there’s more coming! Our 4th Christmas party was our biggest yet and it was a resounding success as well, with me actually breaking even. Thank you so so so much for being there with us through all of this excitement! and thanks for buying our records! Seb Fleet and Count Oak’s Sun 7″ is now sold out in it’s limited glow-in-the-dark format and a less-limited black vinyl release will be out in january. Happy winter holidays!
